Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Calculation of the LC50 of Propanoic acid, 2-hydroxy, C12-C16 (even numbered) alkyl esters based on the individual QSAR data for the C12-C16 lactates.
Justification for type of information:
1. SOFTWARE: OECD QSAR TOOLBOX
2. MODEL (incl. version number): ECOSAR v1.1 Class-specific Estimations
3. SMILES OR OTHER IDENTIFIERS USED AS INPUT FOR THE MODEL: O=C(OCCCCC[CC]CC]CCCCCCC)C(O)C
4. SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY OF THE (Q)SAR MODEL
- Defined endpoint: Fish - 96-hr - LC50
- Unambiguous algorithm: not applicable

Description of key information

Value calculated based on QSAR estimated individual LC50 values for the C12, C14 and C16 lactates being the main constituents of Propanoic acid, 2-hydroxy, C12-C16 (even numbered) alkyl esters.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Fresh water fish

Fresh water fish
Effect concentration:
0.32 mg/L

Additional information

Estimation of the LC50 of Propanoic acid, 2-hydroxy, C12-C16 (even numbered) alkyl esters for fish:

Calculated based on QSAR values for Ester Toxicity:

Lactate LC50 1/LC50 f f/LC50
Dodecyl lactate 0.882 1.1338 0.60 0.6803
Tetradecyllactate 0.261 3.8314 0.30 1.1494
Hexadecyllactate 0.076 13.158 0.10 1.3158
Σf/LC50 3.1455

LC50 ofPropanoic acid, 2-hydroxy, C12-C16 (even numbered) alkyl esters 

0.318

f= estimated average fraction of chemical in mixture

Considering the fact that the maximum total concentration of C12 -16 alcohols is <10 % (w/w) and their LC50 values were not significantly lower than those of the lactates, the respective individual LC50 values were not included in the calculation.
