The uncertainty of the prediction
(OECD principle 4)

According to REACH Guidance Document R.7a, (Nov. 2012), solubility in water is difficult to model accurately. The experimental error on solubility measurements can be quite high (generally reckoned to be about 0.5 log unit).

The chemical mechanisms according to the model underpinning the predicted result
(OECD principle 5)

The water solubility of a substance depends on its affinity for water as well as its affinity for its own crystal structure. WATERNT uses a "fragment constant" methodology to predict the water solubility.  In a "fragment constant" method, a structure is divided into fragments (atom or larger functional groups) and coefficient values of each fragment or group are summed together to yield the estimate.

3.4

The uncertainty of the prediction
(OECD principle 4)

According to REACH Guidance Document R.7a, (Nov. 2012), solubility in water is difficult to model accurately. For this reason, as well as the fact that the experimental error on solubility measurements can be quite high (generally reckoned to be about 0.5 log unit), the prediction of aqueous solubility is not as accurate as is the prediction of octanol/water partitioning.

3.5

The chemical mechanisms according to the model underpinning the predicted result
(OECD principle 5)

The water solubility of a substance depends on its affinity for water as well as its affinity for its own crystal structure. In general, substances with high melting points have poor solubility in any solvent.

Equation estimate of water solubility

The following discusses the correction factor in the table

Liquid Amines [Amine, Aliphatic]: applies only to liquids that contain a primary, secondary or tertiary amine. The amine must have only aliphatic carbon attachments (as with all correction factors, a carbon attachment does not include the carbonyl function). For equation 19 (which includes solids and liquids), it also applies to the same amines; however, any structure that contains an acetamide, acid or imide is excluded.

Description of key information

The water solubility was found to be 1000 g/L according to authoritative online database (GESTIS). Additionally, two QSARs were performed (WSKOW v1.42 and WATERNT v1.01), which both estimated a water solubility of 1000 g/L at 25 °C (the maximum solubility was applied).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

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 the test substance (Q)SAR results were used for water solubility. 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.
