Preliminary calculation result (Rekker method): log Pow = 6.06

Dissociation constant calculation: no pKa values for acidic and basic groups in the molecular structure of the test substance in the logarithm range of 1-14 were calculated.

HPLC method: in the chromatogram of the test solution, one major peak and several small test substance peaks were observed. The results are given in the table:

The equation of the regression line was:

log k' = 0.345 log P - 0.831 (r = 0.998, n = 12).

Description of key information

log Pow = 5.6 at 35 °C, pH described as neutral (ca. 7)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
5.6
at the temperature of:
35 °C

Additional information

The partition coefficient of the substance was determined using HPLC method according to EU method A.8 and guidelines OECD 117 and OPPTS 830.7570. The value obtained corresponds to the main component. It is not expected that the value changes significantly at the room temperature (ca. 20 -25 °C).
