Description of key information

Adsorption of the substance (represented by its branched and linear isomers) to the solid soil phase is expected.

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.


 


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 Tridecanamine, N-tridecyl-, branched and linear (CAS 101012 -97 -9) (Q)SAR results were used for the estimation of the adsorption potential. 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.


 


Therefore, further experimental studies on the adsorption potential are not provided.


 


Assessment:


Di-tridecylamine, branched and linear (CAS 101012-97-9) is a mixture of (predominantly) di-alkyl amines with varying alkyl-chain length in a range between C24 and C27. The main fraction consists of isomers of di-tridecylamines (C26H55N). Secondary fractions were detected to have chain lengths of C13 and C39. The following structures and relative fractions were proposed:

To assess the adsorption potential of Tridecanamine, N-tridecyl-, branched and linear (CAS 101012 -97 -9) no experimental data exist. Therefore, the Koc value was estimated using a scientifically acceptable calculation method. At environmentally relevant conditions, the representative isomers of the substance will be predominantly present in their ionised form (pKa = 10.4 - 10.8, SPARC On-line Calculator, BASF SE, 2020, see IUCLID Ch. 4.21). Two of the linear isomers (C39H79N and C39H81N) will be predominantly uncharged at higher pH values (pH > 7) due to the isomers’ pKa of 7.1 and 7.2. The adsorption coefficient was calculated according to Franco & Trapp (2008, 2009, 2010) to correct for the charged molecule at pH 5, 7, and 8. This pH range is representative for 98% of the European soils. The branched and linear isomers C13H29N are within the applicability domain of the model, whereas all other isomers are not within the applicability domain. The Koc values of the Franco & Trapp method give a good indication on the adsorption potential of a substance depending on the pH conditions of soil. The method is based on the dissociation constant pKa and the log Kow for the uncharged molecule. The resulting Kocs at pH 7 are in a range between 37832 - 708E5 L/kg and the log Kocs are in a range between 4.58 - 7.85, respectively (see Table 2).
