Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Except for the aliphatic OH-groups the test substance does not contain any functional group which can be protonated or deprotonated significantly in aqueous solution. Therefore, the substance is to be considered as a neutral molecule in the pH range 2-10, which is of relevance for aqueous biological systems.


 


No separate validity criteria are applied as a valid calculation method was used to obtain the results.

Conclusions:
Except for the aliphatic OH-groups the test substance does not contain any functional group which can be protonated or deprotonated significantly in aqueous solution. Therefore, the substance is to be considered as a neutral molecule in the pH range 2-10, which is of relevance for aqueous biological systems.
Executive summary:

The chemical structure does not contain any functional groups, which can be protonated or deprotonated in the biologically relevant range of pH 2 to 10. The pKa calculation with the computer program ACD/pKa DB gave values of 13.0 and 14.2 for the aliphatic hydroxy groups. Therefore, the substance is to be considered as a neutral molecule in the pH range 2-10, which is of relevance for aqueous biological systems.

Description of key information

Except for the aliphatic OH-groups the test substance does not contain any functional group which can be protonated or deprotonated significantly in aqueous solution. Therefore, the substance is to be considered as a neutral molecule in the pH range 2-10, which is of relevance for aqueous biological systems.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The pKa calculation with the computer program ACD/pKa DB ( Advanced Chemistry Development Inc., Toronto, Canada) gave values of 13.0 and 14.2 for the aliphatic hydroxy groups. Therefore, the substance is to be considered as a neutral molecule in the pH range 2-10, which is of relevance for aqueous biological systems.
