Description of key information

N-[3-(dimethoxymethylsilyl)-2-methylpropyl]ethylenediamine (amine groups): First and second pKa's: 7.15 and 10.09
Silanol hydrolysis product (hydroxyl groups): pKa approximately 12, based on read-across from dimethylsilanediol

Key value for chemical safety assessment

pKa at 20°C:

7.15

Additional information

The requirement to test the substance for dissociation constant is waived on the basis that the parent substance hydrolyses rapidly.

For the amine groups of the substance the first and second pKa values 7.15 and 10.09 were obtained using an appropriate calculation method.

There are no reliable measured data for the dissociation constant of hydroxyl protons of the hydrolysis product, N-[3-(dihydroxymethylsilyl)-2-methylpropyl]ethylenediamine. The typical dissociation constants for the hydroxyl protons of silanediols are available from other silanediols. It is appropriate to read-across dissociation constant data for N-[3-(dihydroxymethylsilyl)-2-methylpropyl]ethylenediamine from dimethylsilanediol. This suggests that silanols are not expected to undergo significant dissociation within the range of pH relevant in the environment or in vivo. Dimethylsilanediol has a measured first dissociation constant approximately 12 reported in secondary literature. Additional information is given in a supporting report (PFA, 2013b) attached in Section 13 of the REACH technical dossier.
