The chemical mechanisms according to the model underpinning the predicted result
(OECD principle 5)The chemical structure influences the biodegradability of the substance. Therefore, chemical fragments were selected having a potential effect on biodegradability. In order to be able to predict the biodegradability probability of substances without these specific fragments, the molecular weight was integrated into the models.

Description of key information
The parent compound and relevant metabolites are not readily biodegradable (OECD criteria).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The ready biodegradability of the test item (parent compound) was assessed over a 28 day period by the modified Sturm test (OECD 301 B). The nominal test concentrations were 10 and 20 mg a.s./L. The test material attained up to 6 and 3% biodegradation after 28 days whereas the positive control substance (Aniline) was 94.4% degraded after 28 days. These results indicate that the test item cannot be classified readily biodegradable under the conditions of the test.
Furthermore, the degradability of the substance was assessed with different QSAR estimation tools to (1) elucidate its ready biodegradability and (2) identify possible degradation products. The ready biodegradability was assessed with the following QSAR estimation tools:
- US EPA’s EPISuite estimation program v4.11, Biowin v4.10
- Ready biodegradability model IRFMN v1.0.9 integrated in the Vegain silicoplatform v1.1.3.
- Catalogic v5.11.19, Catalogic 301 C v09.13
Catalogic was further used to identify possible degradation products.
According to the US EPA’s EPISuite v4.11, Biowin v4.10 estimation program the substance is not readily biodegradable. The molecular weight of the substance is within the applicability domain of the model. However, the substance exceeded the maximum number of instances of each bond in the Biowin 5 and 6 submodel by 1 instance (aromatic H: 16 instances instead of 15) and in the Biowin 7 submodel by 3 instances (aromatic H: 16 instances instead of 13). These exceedances are not regarded as relevant for the general outcome of the model (not readily biodegradable) especially as the exceeded fragments are only aromatic hydrogens. Thus, the reliability of the prediction is regarded as high.
The Vega IRFMN v1.0.9 model predicted the substance as not readily biodegradable. However, the reliability was low. Only moderately similar compounds with known experimental value in the training set have been found, the accuracy of the prediction for similar molecules found in the training set is not optimal, a prominent number of atom centered fragments of the compound have not been found in the compounds of the training set or are rare fragments. Although the prediction is of low reliability it reflects the experimental result of the OECD 301 B study. Therefore, it was not discarded but used as supporting information.
Catalogic v5.11.19, Catalogic 301 C v09.13 predicted a BOD of 16%. The model’s applicability domain is divided into three subdomains. (1) the parameter domain, (2) the structural fragment domain and (3) the metabolic domain. The substance is within the logKow, molecular weight and water solubility ranges of the parameter domain. However, only 50% of the fragments of the compound were found in correctly predicted training set chemicals. The remaining 50% of the fragments were unknown and not present in the training set chemicals. Thus, the compound is outside of the structural fragments domain. The third subdomain – the metabolic domain – investigates if the compound can be successfully mineralized. The substance is within the metabolic domain. In summary, the substance is not within the total domain of the model, however, the prediction is regarded as reliable. Especially as available experimental data on the degradability – OECD TG 301 B, 3 to 6% degradation – confirm the predicted result of 16%.
In conclusion, the compound is clearly regarded as not readily biodegradable (by OECD criteria).
In addition to the prediction of the ready biodegradability the identification of degradation products was performed with the Catalogic 301 C model especially in regards to the PBT assessment. As mentioned above, the prediction of the model is regarded as suitable. Furthermore, the predicted metabolic pathways are regarded as reliable as the underlying metabolic transformations can be applied to the present substance/its atom-centered fragments and especially because the substance is within the metabolic domain of the model. The model predicted 70 metabolites at a relevant quantity of≥0.1% after 28d (Table 1). In addition to the identification of the metabolites Catalogic 301 C also predicted the BOD. Additionally, for metabolites≥0.1% the OECD QSAR Toolbox v3.4 was used to identify available experimental data to conclude on the degradability of the metabolites beyond their predicted degradation value. The information is also listed in Table 1.

*Catalogic v5.11.19, Catalogic 301 C v09.13
**Information on the degradability were derived from the OECD QSAR Toolbox v3.4 including the following databases: (1) Biodegradation in soil OASIS, (2) Biodegradation NITE, (3) ECHA CHEM, and (4) ECOTOX.
The OECD QSAR Toolbox identified only six metabolites (excluding the parent compound) with experimental data. These compounds can be regarded as readily biodegradable. For the other metabolites no experimental data could be found and only the predicted BOD values are available. According to the BOD values from Catalogic the vast majority of the metabolites cannot be regarded as readily biodegradable showing BOD values of <20%.
In an overall conclusion, the parent compound cannot be regarded as readily biodegradable. This is supported by three QSAR models which also classified the compound as not biodegradable. The experimental study according to OECD TG 301 B revealed a degradation rate of 3 to 6% and Catalogic 301 C v09.13 revealed a BOD of 16%. According to these results a certain degree of primary degradation of the parent compound might be assumed. However, the half life is expected to be long. Therefore, and as a worst case, the parent compound is regarded as persistent in the environment. In a subsequent step, Catalogic was used to identify possible degradation products≥0.1% which are relevant in regards to the PBT assessment. For six of these metabolites experimental data derived from the databases incorporated in the OECD QSAR Toolbox could be identified which clearly lead to the conclusion that these six metabolites are readily biodegradable and not persistent. For the remaining metabolites only predicted BOD values from Catalogic 301 C v09.13 are available. Especially the smaller metabolites showed high BOD values. For these compounds it can reasonably be assumed that they are not persistent, but rather well biodegradable if not even readily biodegradable. However, the larger metabolites showed BOD values less than 20%. For these metabolites a concluding assessment about the persistency cannot be made. Therefore, these metabolites are regarded as persistent in the environment.
The QSAR predictions have been conducted in compliance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006:
In Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, it is laid down that information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests, provided that the conditions set out in Annex XI (of the same Regulation) are met. Furthermore according to Article 25 of the same Regulation testing on vertebrate animals shall be undertaken only as a last resort.
According to Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (Q)SAR results can be used if (1) the scientific validity of the (Q)SAR model has been established, (2) the substance falls within the applicability domain of the (Q)SAR model, (3) the results are adequate for the purpose of classification and labeling and/or risk assessment and (4) adequate and reliable documentation of the applied method is provided.
For the assessment of CAS 70321-86-7 (Q)SAR results were used for aerobic biodegradability in water.The criteria listed in Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 are considered to be adequately fulfilled and therefore the endpoint(s) sufficiently covered and suitable for risk assessment.
Therefore, further experimental studies on aerobic biodegradability in water are not provided.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
