The derivation of Koc from Kow values as described in the TGD (2003) is reported as a usable valid model by ECHA, which fulfilled all OECD principles:

1. A defined endpoint:

Adsorption coefficient (Koc).

2. An unambiguous algorithm:

19 models have been developed for different chemical classes (see table 4 of the TGD part III).The chemical class “predominantly hydrophobics” is defined as compounds containing only carbon, hydrogen and halogen (F, Cl, Br, I) atoms, “nonhydrophobic chemicals” being all chemicals that cannot be classified as predominantly hydrophobics. Fourteen class-specific QSAR models were produced for all nonhydrophobic classes of chemicals, in order to give more appropriate equations. The test substance is considered nonhydrophobics. The corresponding equation is log Koc = 0.52*log Kow + 1.02

3.A defined domain of applicability:

The applicability domain of the sorption models developed by Sabljic and Güsten (1995) depends on the considered chemical class, and is based on logKow range (see table 5 of the TGD part III). The substance is within the validity domain of nonhydrophobics.

4.Appropriate measures of goodness-of-fit, robustness and predictivity:

For nonhydrophobics: n (number of data) = 390; R² (correlation coefficient) = 0.63; s.e. (standard error of estimate) = 0.56.

5.A mechanistic interpretation, if possible:

No data

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Koc value of the substance was predicted to be 779.8 L/kg. The substance is considered as low mobile in soils.
Executive summary:

Koc value of the substance has been assessed by using the TGD Part III table 4, non hydrophobics. The result is shown below:

- TGD non hydrophobics approach, log Koc = 2.892, Koc (L/kg) = 779.8.

Therefore, the substance is considered as low mobile in soils according to P.J. McCall et al., 1981.

Additional information

Two QSARs models and one calculation method, which are recommended by the ECHA guidance document on information requirements, were used in a weight of evidence approach to determine the adsorption coefficient of the registered substance.

The QSAR models are KOCWIN v2.00, available from the US EPA (MCI and log Kow methodologies).

The adsorption coefficient (Koc) of the registered substance was estimated to be 398.5 L/kg and 709.2 L/kg, calculated from the MCI and log Kow methodologies respectively, using an experimental log Kow value at 3.6.

The calculation method is TGD (2003). Based on the chemical class of Nonhydrophobics, the estimated adsorption coefficient of the registered substance was 779.8 L/kg (with an experimental log Kow at 3.6).

The summary of the estimated adsorption coefficients is presented in the table below:

 

5-heptyldihydrofuran-2(3H)-one

CAS N° 104-67-6

Experimental Log Kow = 3.6

KOCWIN v2.00 – MCI approach

Koc = 398.5 L/kg

KOCWIN v2.00 – Kow approach

Koc = 709.2 L/kg

TGD, 2003

Koc = 779.8 L/kg

Geometric mean

Koc = 599.8 L/kg

Log Koc = 2.778

Based on these predictions, the Koc of the registered substance is estimated to be 599.8 L/kg, corresponding to a log Koc at 2.778 (geometric mean of QSAR results). This result indicates that the substance is low mobile in soils (according to P.J. McCall et al., 19811).
