REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
The substance CAS No. 1879-09-0 is one of the main components of the reaction mass of 2-tert-butyl-4,6-dimethylphenol and 4-tert-butyl-2,5-dimethylphenol and it is present in a concentration of more than 70%. Therefore, the results obtained with the substance CAS No. 1879-09-0 can be used for the read-across approach.
See attached the reporting format.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Dissociating properties:
yes
pKa:
12
Temp.:
20 °C
Conclusions:
Based on read-across approach from experimental data on analogue substance 6-tert-butyl-2,4-xylenol (CAS 1879-09-0), pKa dissociation constant of the reaction mass of 2-tert-butyl-4,6-dimethylphenol and 4-tert-butyl-2,5-dimethylphenol is 12 at 20ºC.
Executive summary:

In a experimental study 6-tert-butyl-2,4-xylenol was found to have a pKa dissociation constant of 12 at 20 ºC. Based on these results, the read-across approach was applied and the pKa dissociation constant of the reaction mass of 2-tert-butyl-4,6-dimethylphenol and 4-tert-butyl-2,5-dimethylphenol was determined to be 12 at 20ºC.
