There is no information on the number of instances of fragments in the training dataset. If the substance is a member of one of the following chemical classes, the substance is probably within the applicability domain of the model (based on information by other authors, e.g. Posthumus and Slooff, 2001): alkanes, haloalkanes, alkenes, haloalkenes, polyenes, terpenes, alkynes, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, glycols, ethers, esters, epoxides, thiols, thioethers, aliphatic amines, hydrazines, nitrites, nitrates, nitriles, P-containing organics, aromatic compounds (alkylbenzenes, halobenzenes, phenols, PAHs, styrene, methoxybenzene, aniline, nitrobenzene, biphenyl, dibenzofurans, dibenzodioxins) Fulfilled The substance is not within the applicability domain of the model if it is a perhalogenated alkanes. Not fulfilled Substance is a secondary, tertiary and heterocyclic amine. Estimated values highly uncertain. Not Fulfilled 3.4 The uncertainty of the prediction (OECD principle 4) - n = 667 -correlationcoefficient r2= 0.963 - standarddeviation= 0.218 - absolute mean error = 0.127 - 90% of the estimated rate constants within a factor of two of the experimental data - 95% of the estimated rate constants within a factor of three of the experimental data 3.5 The chemical mechanisms according to the model underpinning the predicted result (OECD principle 5) Reaction rate constants for hydroxyl radicals are the summation of the following mechanisms: (1) Hydrogen abstraction (2) Reaction with specific nitrogen and sulphur fragments and reaction with hydroxyl (OH) fragments such as alcohols and phenols (3) Addition to triple bonds (4) Addition toolefinicbonds (5) Addition to aromatic rings (6) Addition to fused rings The model works according to the group contribution method which uses fragments and the corresponding reaction values to estimate the reaction rate constant of a given substance.

Additional information

QSAR-disclaimer

 

In Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, it is laid down that information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests, provided that the conditions set out in Annex XI (of the same Regulation) are met. Furthermore according to Article 25 of the same Regulation testing on vertebrate animals shall be undertaken only as a last resort.

 

According to Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (Q)SAR results can be used if (1) the scientific validity of the (Q)SAR model has been established, (2) the substance falls within the applicability domain of the (Q)SAR model, (3) the results are adequate for the purpose of classification and labeling and/or risk assessment and (4) adequate and reliable documentation of the applied method is provided.

 

For the assessment of 2-Methylbenzylchloride (Q)SAR results were used for phototransformation in air. The criteria listed in Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 are considered to be adequately fulfilled and therefore the endpoint(s) sufficiently covered and suitable for risk assessment.

 

Therefore, further experimental studies on phototransformation in air are not provided.
