Note: sample D (ratio 1:1 v/v) was lost on processing, but this did not have an impact on the final result because results from all other samples were highly consistent.

Conclusions:
2,2-Difluoroethyl acetate was determined to have a log10Pow value of 0.45 (equivalent Pow = 2.8) at 20˚C.
Executive summary:

The n-octanol/water partition coefficient of 2,2-Difluoroethyl acetate was investigated in a GLP-compliant study according to OECD test guideline 107 using shake flask method. The log10Pow was determined to be equal to 0.45 (equivalent Pow = 2.8) at 20˚C.

Description of key information

The n-octanol/water partition coefficient (Log) of 2,2-Difluoroethyl acetate is equal to 0.45 (equivalent Pow = 2.8) at 20˚C.
