Conclusions:
The partition coefficient (n-octanol/water) of test chemical was determined as per the HPLC method (OECD Guideline-117). The Log Pow value was determined to be 2.6776 ± 0.001 at 25°C.
Executive summary:

The partition Coefficient n-octanol/water of chemical was determined by the Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography method according to OECD Guideline No. 117 for testing of Chemicals. A test item solution was prepared by accurately weighing 4 mg of test item and diluted with mobile phase up to 10 ml. Thus, the test solution concentration was 400 mg/l. The pH of test substance was 6.44. The reference substances were chosen according to functional similarity with the test substance and calibration graph was prepared. The reference substances were Acetophenone, Benzophenone, Phenol, Benzene, 4-Acetylpyridine, 2-Nitrophenol, Nitrobenzene, Naphthalene having Pow value ranging from 0.5 to 3.6. The Log Pow value was determined to be 2.6776 ± 0.001 at 25°C.

Bu considering this log Kow value test chemical is considered to be hydrophilic in nature.
