Conclusions:
The Partition Coefficient n-octanol/water of test item was determined by the Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic Method according to the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, Method No. 117, EU Method A.8 (Partition Coefficient - HPLC Method) and EPA OPPTS 830.7570 (Partition Coefficient, n-octanol / H2O, Estimation by Liquid Chromatography). The average retention time of test item is 8.36 minutes, corresponding to a partition coefficient (log value) of 4.4. Therefore, Partition coefficient n-octanol/water of test item is log Pow = 4.4.
Executive summary:

The Partition Coefficient n-octanol/water of test item was determined by the Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic Method according to the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, Method No. 117, EU Method A.8 (Partition Coefficient - HPLC Method) and EPA OPPTS 830.7570 (Partition Coefficient, n-octanol / H2O, Estimation by Liquid Chromatography).


Partition coefficient n-octanol/water of test item is Log Pow = 4.4.
