Remarks on result:

not measured/tested

When using methanol, acetonitrile, dimethylsulfoxide, tetrahydrofuran, n-hexane and toluene, the test substance solutions were also sonicated for 10 to 20 minutes. The test substance did not dissolve.

Heating was used when trying to dissolve the test substance in 2-propanol and/or chloroform using a hot plate at 50-55°C. The test substance did not dissolve.

Based on these experiments, it was concluded that there was no suitable reagent to dissolve the test substance which is compatible with the conditions to be used for estimation of the adsorption coefficient by HPLC.

 

In orer to test if any test substance was dissolved in 2-propanol, an injection on an analytical system was performed. HPLC chromatograms of the test substance solution and corresponding blank solution are performed. No differences can be observed between the test substance and blank injection, indicating the negligible amount of dissolved material.

 

In addition, an injection without HPLC column of the blank and test substance solution was also performed. No difference compared to the blank could be observed in the chromatogram.

Description of key information

Log Koc:7.87 - 8.91 (MCI, KOCWIN v2.00)

Additional information

Experimental studies on the adsorption/desorption behaviour of the substance are not available. A study is technically not feasible because there is no suitable reagent to dissolve the test substance which is compatible with the conditions to be used for estimation of the adsorption coefficient by HPLC. Therefore, the Koc values of the main components were calculated using EPISUITE (KOCWIN v2.00). A log Koc range of 7.87 – 8.91 was calculated for the main substance components based on the molecular connectivity index (MCI). Using the log Pow based method, log Koc values of 7.52 – 8.61 were estimated. These models have no universally accepted definition of model domain, but since the substance components are outside the log Pow range of the training set, the results should be taken with caution. The definite values may not be fully reliable, but indicate a high adsorption potential, which is also to be expected based on the high log Pow (calculated: > 10, POWWIN v1.68) and low water solubility (< 0.1 mg/L, WSPOWWIN v1.42). Based on the log Koc values estimated for the main substance components a high potential for adsorption is anticipated.
