EC number: 293-261-7 | CAS number: 91052-99-2 A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained from distillation of the butadiene-free C4 fraction of a naphtha steam-cracking process. It consists predominantly of branched olefinic hydrocarbons having carbon numbers of C8, C12, C16 and C20 and boiling in the range of approximately 105°C to 120°C (221°F to 248°F).

- Endpoint:
- water solubility
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 2009
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Non-GLP, guideline, available as an unpublished report, acceptable with restrictions
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 105 (Water Solubility)
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Remarks:
- No data reported
- Type of method:
- column elution method
- Remarks:
- used becaus ethe water solubility of tributene was below 10-2 g/L according to the preliminary test.
- Water solubility:
- < 2.4 mg/L
- Temp.:
- 20 °C
- pH:
- 7
- Details on results:
- pH not stated, therefore assumed standard.
The exact solubility was not determined due to limits of detection but the upper limit of 2.4 mg/L can be used as a conservative estimate. - Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information): slightly soluble (0.1-100 mg/L)
The upper limit of solubility of tributene was measured as 2.4 mg/L at 20°C - Executive summary:
The exact solubility of tributene was not determined due to limit of detection of the analytical method. However the upper limit of solubility of tributene was measured as 2.4 mg/L at 20°C. For a conservative estimate this higher value will be used. This study does not report whether it is GLP compliant but follows a standard guideline and is considered reliable and suitable for use as a key study for this endpoint.

Description of key information
The water solubility for tributene (C12) was determined to be < 2.4 mg/L, based on the OECD Guideline 105 (Water Solubility).
In the absence of measured data for the solubility of other butylene oligomers, solubility was estimated using WSKOWWIN in EPISuite 4 (v4 .1) which estimates the water solubility of an organic compound using the compounds log octanol-water partition coefficient. The predicted water solubility for the butylene oligomers (C8 -C20) ranged from 0.00002017 to 4.04 mg/L.
