Conclusions:
The logarithm of the partition coefficient (log Kow) for Anisole was determined to be 2.62 at 30 degrees C.

Description of key information

Several peer-reviewed sources indicate the logarithm of the octanol-water partition coefficient of Anisole is 2.11.  A K1 study conducted on 97.06% pure anisole showed a log Kow of 2.62.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
2.62
