Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

BCFBAF Program (v3.01) Results:

==============================

SMILES : O=C(OC)c(c(NC)ccc1)c1

CHEM : Benzoic acid, 2-(methylamino)-, methyl ester

MOL FOR: C9 H11 N1 O2

MOL WT : 165.19

--------------------------------- BCFBAF v3.01 --------------------------------

Summary Results:

Log BCF (regression-based estimate): 1.52 (BCF = 33.3 L/kg wet-wt)

Biotransformation Half-Life (days) : 0.096 (normalized to 10 g fish)

Log BAF (Arnot-Gobas upper trophic): 1.39 (BAF = 24.4 L/kg wet-wt)

Log Kow (experimental): not available from database

Log Kow used by BCF estimates: 2.81

Equation Used to Make BCF estimate:

Log BCF = 0.6598 log Kow - 0.333 + Correction

Correction(s): Value

No Applicable Correction Factors

Estimated Log BCF = 1.522 (BCF = 33.3 L/kg wet-wt)

Conclusions:
The estimated bioconcentration factor (BCF) for methyl N-methylanthranilate is 33.3 L/kg, that does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 2000. Thus it is concluded that methyl N-methylanthranilate is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain because it does not exceed the BCF criteria.
Executive summary:

The estimated bioconcentration factor (BCF) for methyl N-methylanthranilate is 33.3 L/kg, that does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 2000. Thus it is concluded that methyl N-methylanthranilate is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain because it does not exceed the BCF criteria.

Description of key information
