MCI method

 

First Order Molecular Connectivity Index :   6.719

Non-Corrected Log Koc (0.5213 MCI + 0.60) :   4.1023

Fragment Correction(s):

       Organic Aicd (-CO-OH) :       -1.6249

Corrected Log Koc :   2.4774

 

Estimated Koc :   300.2 L/kg

 

Log Kow method

Log Kow (Kowwin estimate) : 4.92

Non-Corrected Log Koc (0.55313 logKow + 0.9251): 3.6465

Fragment Correction(s):

        

Organic Aicd (-CO-OH):       -0.7694

Corrected Log Koc : 2.8771

 

Estimated Koc : 753.6 L/kg

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not applicable
Conclusions:
2-butyl octanoic acid has a medium Koc indicating a low to medium soil mobility potential.
Executive summary:

The Koc of 2 -butyl octanoic acid was estimated with the program US EPA EPI Suite (v 4.00), program component KOCWIN. Using a correlation based on molecular connectivity index, the log Koc was determined to be 2.477 (Koc = 300.2 L/kg). Using a correlation based on Kow, the log Koc was 2.877 (Koc = 753.6 L/kg). The high Koc values indicate a distinct potential of 2 -butyl octanoic acid to accumulate in soil and sediment.

The McCall classification scheme classifies the substances as low to medium soil mobility potential (Koc 150 -2000).

The KOC of this structure may be sensitive to pH. The estimated KOC represents a best-fit to the majority of experimental values. However, the KOC may vary significantly with pH.
