- REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
This read-across is based on the hypothesis that source and target substances have similar biodegradation behaviour because the target substance, TA-2, exhibits the same core structure as TA-1 (source substance). TA-2 was investigated for stability in aqueous solutions by implementation of analytical methods via LC-MS/MS and LC-QToF employing ESI ionization. Based on observations resulting from these experiments, a complete hydrolysis of the test item within the mobile phase (contact time less than 1 minute for all experiments) can be assumed. This corresponds to the known reactivity (hydrolytically instability) of the sulfonyl chloride functional group of the target substance. Hydrolysis of 2-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)ethane-1-sulfonyl chloride (TA-2) results in its breakdown product 2-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)ethane-1-sulfonic acid which is also considered to be the main constituent in aqueous solutions of the source substance 2-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)ethane-1-sulfonic acid- potassium (TA-1) . Studies to determine biodegradation are conducted in water, thus, these studies use the hydrolysis product 2-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)ethane-1-sulfonic acid as active ingredient. Testing of TA-2 in aqueous solutions is therefore assumed to reveal the same results as compared to TA-1.
2. SOURCE AND TARGET CHEMICAL(S) (INCLUDING INFORMATION ON PURITY AND IMPURITIES)
The target substance, 2-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl) ethane-1-sulfonyl chloride contains Phthalimid as core structure linked to an ethansulfonyl chloride group. Furthermore, the target substance is hydrolytically not stable and is experimentally shown to rapidly degrade to 2-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)ethane-1-sulfonic acid (source substance) and chloride.
The source substance 2-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)ethane-1-sulfonic acid--potassium is a water soluble substance for which was shown to be stable in aqueous solutions (study according to OECD guideline 201). It consists of the same core structure as the target substance (Phthalimid with sulfonic acid as functional group). TA-1 as a solid contains potassium as counter ion but when used in aqueous solutions is considered to be present as free sulfonic acid form.
3. ANALOGUE APPROACH JUSTIFICATION
The read-across hypothesis is based on the experimentally proven assumption that 2-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl) ethane-1-sulfonyl chloride hydrolyses fast to 2-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)ethane-1-sulfonic acid. The source substance 2-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)ethane-1-sulfonic acid--potassium (TA-1) is present in the free sulfonic acid form when dissolved in aqueous solutions, thus, the tests on biodegradation and ecotoxicity are performed with the same compound regardless whether TA-1 or TA-2 is used. Furthermore, available physico-chemical data reveal similar properties for both substances supporting the read-across strategy.
The respective reliable data (RL 1) are summarised in the table below; robust study summaries are included in the Technical Dossier in the respective sections.

- After a test period of 28 days, the test item (TA-1) is classified as readily biodegradable within the 10-day-window and within the 28 day period of the study.
The target substance 2 -(1,3 -dioxo-1,3 -dihydro-2H-isoindol-2 -yl)ethane-1 -sulfonyl chloride (TA-2) is hydrolytically not stable and is experimentally shown to rapidly degrade to 2 -(1,3-dioxo-1,3 -dihydro-2H-isoindol-2 -yl)ethane-1 -sulfonic acid and chloride. The source substance 2-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)ethane-1-sulfonic acid--potassium (TA-1) is present in the free sulfonic acid form when dissolved in aqueous solutions, thus, the tests on biodegradation and ecotoxicity are performed with the same compound regardless whether TA-1 or TA-2 is used. Therefore, the results for the source substance apply likewise to the target substance.
