1. Defined endpoint: Dissociation constant (pKa) in water
2. Unambiguous algorithm: For 2-{[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy]carbonyl}benzoic acid the following fragment descriptors (parent compound) were identified as reaction centres:HO-C-Rand R-C-COOH
3. Applicable domain: The identified reaction centers have been found as fragments in the Internal Reaction Centers Database with experimental equations. The substance only contains32 atoms, which is much less than the limit of ACD/pKa DB of 255.The substance only contains two ionization centres with one fragment for each.The substance does not contain the atoms, what are not accepted by ACD/pKa DB. The fragment that occurs in the structure of 2-{[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy]carbonyl}benzoic acid applied by the program is verified by the user. The rules applied for the substance appears appropriate. An individual uncertainty for the investigated substance is not available.
4. Statistical characteristics: Each calculation from ACD/pKa DB is provided with its 95 % confidence interval and, when available, literature references with experimental results. The accuracy of calculations for simple structures is usually better than ±0.2 pKa units (for complex structures it is better than ±0.5 pKa units).
5. Mechanistic interpretation: The mechanistic basis of the model is the linear free energy relationship (LFER), which is an empirical correlation between the standard free energies of reaction or activation for two series of reactions, both subjected to the same variations in reactant structures or reaction conditions. As applied to the estimation of acid dissociation constants, the LFER is basically a substituent-effect approach.
6. Adequacy of prediction: The result for 2-{[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy]carbonyl}benzoic acid falls within the applicability domain described above and the estimation rules applied for the substance appears appropriate. Therefore the predicted value can be considered reliable yielding a useful result for further assessment.
