Executive summary:

Determination of the water solubility of the test substance was conducted according to OECD 105 guideline, column elution method.

Samples were analysed with validated HPLC/MS/MS method, but no peak was detected in the solutions, so the result was set as below the LOQ of 0.5 µg/L.

2.544 E6

0.16 (method of Klopman) (Toghiani 2008)

0.197 (COSMOtherm) (Toghiani 2008)

2.5 (ideal solubility equation) (Toghiani 2008)

The comparison with literature values shows that the predicted values differ substantially with experimental values.

In the case of solubility, none of the predicted values developed so far are close to the values measured in the laboratory at ERDC-CERL.

Description of key information

Experimental water solubility < 0.5 µg/L at 20°C (< LOQ).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

First, several literature sources were identified, providing solubility data from various experiment and QSARs. Values ranged from 0.16 mg/L to 2.5 g/L, so were considered inconsistent and not suitable for a WoE approach.

The variability may be explained by the very particular structure of the substance, with strong intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen bonds.

Therefore, an attempt was made to measure the solubility with the column elution method. A HPLC/MS/MS method was developed and validated for the analysis, but all samples were found below the LOQ of 0.5 µg/L. Therefore the result is expressed as a limit value.
