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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Dissociation constant
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- dissociation constant
- Type of information:
- other: The pKa was estimated using the software SPARC (SPARC Performs Automated Reasoning in Chemistry) software (v4.5)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 2011-06-23
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Study conducted in accordance with generally accepted scientific principles, possibly with incomplete reporting or methodological deficiencies, which do not affect the quality of relevant results.
- Qualifier:
- no guideline required
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The pKa was estimated using the software SPARC (SPARC Performs Automated Reasoning in Chemistry) software (v4.5)
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Dissociating properties:
- yes
- pKa:
- 9.82
- Temp.:
- 25 °C
- Conclusions:
- The result is : pKa (Benzyl Salicylate, 25 °C) = 9.82.
This suggests that the pKa of Benzyl salicylate is outside the environmentally relevant pH range , and that the molecule therefore is undissociated under normal conditions. - Executive summary:
Benzyl Salicylate is a salicylic acid ester containing a phenol group.
Therefore, to assess whether this molecule does ionise in the environmentally relevant pH range, the pKa was estimated using the SPARC (SPARC Performs Automated Reasoning in Chemistry) software (v4.5), recommended for this purpose by the Technical Guidance Document to Industry on the Information Requirements for REACH.
The result is : pKa (Benzyl Salicylate, 25 °C) = 9.82.
This suggests that the pKa of Benzyl salicylate is outside the environmentally relevant pH range , and that the molecule therefore is undissociated under normal conditions.

Additional information
pKa (Benzyl Salicylate, 25 °C) = 9.82.
This suggests that the pKa of Benzyl salicylate is outside the environmentally relevant pH range (4 to 9 for surface waters, about 8 for marine environments and between 5.5 and 7.5 for agricultural soil and STP tanks - ECHA Guidance Ch R.7a ), and that the molecule therefore is undissociated under normal conditions.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
