Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Type:
log Koc
Value:
> 5.63 dimensionless
Details on results (HPLC method):
The anionic part of Montelukast dicyclohexylamine could be analysed using UV detection, while the cationic part necessitated MS detection. An Acetanilide solution was used to determine the difference in retention time between the UV and MS detection.

In the chromatograms of the test substance solution, two peaks were observed. The peak at a retention time of 11.6 minutes observed using UV detection at 210 nm was assumed to derive from the anionic part of the test substance. The peak at a retention time of 13.9 minutes observed using MS detection in the positive electrospray mode at m/z 182.2 was assumed to derive from the cationic part of the test substance.

Under the same analytical conditions, the retention time of 4,4’-DDT (log Koc = 5.63) was 8.1 minutes. Hence, it was concluded that the log Koc of both the cationic and anionic part of the test substance was > 5.63 (Koc > 4.27 x 10ee5).
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The log Koc of both the cationic and anionic part of the test substance was > 5.63 with the Koc > 4.27 x 10ee5.

Additional information

The anionic part of Montelukast dicyclohexylamine could be analysed using UV detection, while the cationic part necessitated MS detection. An Acetanilide solution was used to determine the difference in retention time between the UV and MS detection.

 

In the chromatograms of the test substance solution, two peaks were observed. The peak at a retention time of 11.6 minutes observed using UV detection at 210 nm was assumed to derive from the anionic part of the test substance. The peak at a retention time of 13.9 minutes observed using MS detection in the positive electrospray mode at m/z 182.2 was assumed to derive from the cationic part of the test substance.

 

Under the same analytical conditions, the retention time of 4,4’-DDT (log Koc= 5.63) was 8.1 minutes. Hence, it was concluded that the log Kocof both the cationic and anionic part of the test substance was > 5.63 (Koc> 4.27 x 105).
