Boiling point

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Endpoint:

boiling point

Type of information:

(Q)SAR

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification

Justification for type of information:

1. SOFTWARE:
The EPI (Estimation Programs Interface) Suite™ is a Windows®-based suite of physical/chemical property and environmental fate estimation programs developed by EPA’s and Syracuse Research Corp. (SRC).
2. MODEL (incl. version number)
Version 4.11
3. SMILES OR OTHER IDENTIFIERS USED AS INPUT FOR THE MODEL:
OC(=O)C1=CC=C(C=C1C(O)=O)S(O)(=O)=O

4. SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY OF THE (Q)SAR MODEL
Individual estimation programs and/or their underlying predictive methods and equations have been described in numerous journal articles in peer-reviewed technical journals. In addition, EPI Suite™ has undergone detailed review by a panel of EPA’s independent Science Advisory Board (SAB), and its September 2007 report can be downloaded at https://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/02ad90b136fc21ef85256eba00436459/CCF982BA9F9CFCFA8525735200739805/$File/sab-07-011.pdf

5. APPLICABILITY DOMAIN
The intended application domain is organic chemicals. There are specific uses of EPI Suite™ that are not entirely appropriate for supporting; at present EPI Suite does not provide adequate coverage of nanoparticles, inorganic compounds, organo-metallic and some polymeric chemicals (as well as other 35 classes of chemicals). Application of EPI Suite™ to chemicals outside the domain of the training set is likely to result in unreliable estimates.
6. ADEQUACY OF THE RESULT
The physico-chemical property derived from EPI Suite™ Version 4.11 is scientifically reliable as it falls into its applicability organic substance domain. The derived value will not be used for hazard classification purposes however, it will allow us to predict fate and transport properties.
