Specific details on test material used for the study:
CC(=O)C=Cc1ccccc1
Analytical method:
other: prediction by QSAR
Type:

Partition coefficient:
2.04
Remarks on result:
other: No further details are available.
Details on results:
The single fragments were detected as: aliphatic carbon (-CH3) with a coefficient of 0.55, 2 olefinc carbon fractions with a coefficient of 0.38 each, 6 aromatic attachments with coefficients of 0.29 and one carbonyl, olefinic attach (-C(=O)-, giving a coefficient of -1.27.
Conclusions:
The study report describes a scientifically accepted calculation method for determination of the partition coefficient using the US-EPA software KOWWIN v1.68. No GLP criteria are applicable for the usage of this tool and the QSAR estimation is easily repeatable.
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient of the test substance was determined by the computer program KOWWIN v1.68 (EPIWIN software) by US-EPA. This program uses the chemical structure of a compound to predict the logarithmic octanol-water partition coefficient (logPow). Structures are used in their SMILES notation. LogPow is calculated by determining LogPow contributions from individual molecular fragments and then summing up these contributions. The single fragments were detected as: aliphatic carbon (-CH3) with a coefficient of 0.55, 2 olefinc carbon fractions with a coefficient of 0.38 each, 6 aromatic attachments with coefficients of 0.29 and one carbonyl, olefinic attach (-C(=O)-, giving a coefficient of -1.27.

As overall result, the partition coefficient of the substance 4-phenylbutenone was calculated to be 2.04.
