Remarks on result:

The partition coefficient was estimated by a calculation method based on the theoretical fragmentation of the molecule into substructures for which relaible log Pow increments are known. The logPow is obtained by summing the fragment values and the correction term for intramolecular interactions. The log Pow was calculated individually for the different molecules of the test item.

For the molecule with the shortest chain length a logPow of 12.12 was estimated, while for the other two components a log Pow of 14.08 and 16.05 was derived.

As an example, the details of the fragmentation of the molecule with the mid chain length is given in the table below:

Type	Number	Fragment description	coefficient	value
Fragment	4	-CH3 (aliphatic carbon)	0.5473	2.1892
Fragment	24	-CH2 (aliphatic carbon)	0.4911	11.7864
Fragment	2	-NH (aliphatic attached)	-1.4962	-2.9924
Fragment	18	Aromatic carbon	0.2940	5.2920
Fragment	4	-N (aliphatic N, one aromatic attached)	-0.9170	-3.6680
Fragment	2	-NC(=O)N- (urea)	1.0453	2.0906
Fragment	2	OC(=O)N (carbamate)	0.1283	0.2566
Factor	2	ring rx	-0.5500	-1.1000
constant		Equation constant		0.2290
		log Pow estimated		14.0834

Conclusions:

The log Pow of the test item is most probably in the range between 12 and 16 estimated using the model calculation.

Executive summary:

The main test according to OECD Guideline 107 could not be applied. Also the HPLC method as described in OECD Guideline 117 was not applicable.

Therefore, the partition coefficient was calculated on theoretical fragmentation of the molecule.

Based on this claculation, the log Pow of the test item is most probably in the range between 12 and 16.

Description of key information

Partition coefficient: Log Pow  > 10 (calculated)

Additional information

In a preliminary test, a moderate solubility in n-octanol and a very poor solubility in water was found indicating a partition coefficient above 4. Hence, a main test according to OECD Guideline 107 could not be performed. Also the HPLC method as described in OECD Guideline 117 was not possible, because the HPLC method uses a solvent mixture of acetonitrile and tertahydrofurane as eluent.

Therefore, the partition coefficient was calculated based on the theoretical fragmentation of the molecule.

For the component with the shortest chain length a logPow of 12.12 was estimated, while for the other two components a log Pow of 14.08 and 16.05 was derived.
