Justification for type of information:
MTDID 22327 is a member of the Perfluorinated Organic Chemicals, C5-C18, category. Unlike most members of the category, MTDID 22327 is a UVCB consisting mostly of perfluoro-N-methylmorpholine, a mixture of C5-C7 perfluoroamines, and mixed perfluorohexanes. However, all of these chemicals stem from the same manufacturing process, have similar physicochemical properties including high vapor pressure and low water solubility relative to the hydrocarbon analogs (e.g., hexanes v. perfluorohexanes), and also lack any chemically reactive groups, which forms the technical basis for the category. Members of this category are fully fluorinated, meaning that fluorine, rather than hydrogen, is bonded to all carbon atoms in the molecule. Fluorine is the most electronegative of the elements (fluorine has an electronegativity of 3.98 on the Pauling scale, as compared to 2.55 for carbon, 3.04 for nitrogen or 2.20 for hydrogen). This electronegativity is expected to dominate over all other aspects of substance chemistry and is the underlying basis for similarity of substances in this category. For example, strong electron withdrawing in perfluorinated tertiary amines results in a molecule with essentially no lone pair influence, and which has chemistry more similar to a branched, perfluorinated alkane than any other structure. Because these substances exhibit similar physicochemical properties they can be considered to constitute a chemical category. The data gap for partition coefficient can therefore be addressed by many-to-one read-across between category members.

See section 13 for a fuller discussion of the category approach.

Experimental partition coefficient data are available for two constituents of MTDID 22327 (perfluoromethylmorpholine, PMM) and (perfluorohexanes; PFHx). In addition, two constituents are common to MTDID 22327 and MTDID 50908. The four constituents described have the highest typical concentrations (>1%) in MTDID 22327. Average Kow values are not reported in all of the source studies. Individual Kow ratios are reported below, with average Kow calculated where necessary

Conclusions:
Log n-octanol:water coefficient for components of MTDID 22327 ranged from 4.3 - 6.14 at ca. 23 - 25 °C. The predominant constituent had the lowest measured measured log Kow.
Executive summary:

The Log n-octanol:water coefficient of MTDID 22327 was determined using a category approach wherein the coefficients of known constitituents are used to define the range. The resulting range was 4.3 to 6.14 at ca. 23 - 25 °C. The predominant constituent had the lowest measured log Kow.

The validity of this approach to categorically group these types of substances was determined to be reliable with restrictions based on the similarity of chemical functional groups, molecular weights, water solubilities, and vapor pressures. Since the source data are for constituents of MTDID 22327, they provide the best estimate of the range of partition coefficient for MTDID 22327. The source data are from GLP-compliant or ISO 17025-compliant studies which used national standard test guidelines, and they are considered reliable or reliable with restriction. This study is pertinent to the fate of MTDID 22327 and may be used for Risk Assessment, Classification & Labelling, and PBT Analysis.

Additional information

The Log n-octanol:water coefficient of MTDID 22327 was determined by read-across using category members which are constituents of MTDID 22327 to define the range. The resulting range was 4.3 to 6.14 at ca. 23 - 25 °C. The predominant constituent had the lowest measured log Kow. Since the source data are for constituents of MTDID 22327, they provide the best estimate of the range of partition coefficient for MTDID 22327.  The source data were collected in guideline studies and are GLP- or ISO 17025-compliant. The read-across is considered reliable with restrictions. Please see IUCLID section 13 for the category justification and a matrix of physicochemical data for members of the Perfluorinated Organic Chemicals C5-C18 category.
