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 0.119 ± 0.008 at 25°C.
Executive summary:

The partition Coefficient n-octanol/water of test chemical was determined by the Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic method according to OECD Guideline No. 117 for testing of Chemicals. A test item solution was prepared by accurately weighing 5 mg of test item and diluted with ACN up to 10 ml. Thus, the test solution concentration was 500 mg/l. The pH of test substance was 6.08. The reference substances were chosen according to functional similarity with the test substance and calibration graph was prepared .The reference substances were Biphenyl,Toluene, n-Butylbenzene, Naphthalene, 4 -Acetylpyridine having Pow value ranging from 0.5 to 4.6. The Log Pow value was found to be 0.119 ± 0.008 at 25°C. The partition Coefficient n-octanol/water of test chmeical was determined by the Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic method according to OECD Guideline No. 117 for testing of Chemicals. The reference substances were chosen according to estimated Pow range of the test substance and generalized calibration graph was prepared.The reference substances were having Pow value ranging from 0.5 to 4.6 .The Log Pow value was determined to be 0.119 ± 0.008 dimensionless at 25°C. On the basis of this value, test chemical can be considered to be hydrophobic in nature.

Additional studyfromhandbook, secondary source, authoritative and modelling databases indicates that the octanol water partition coefficient (log Pow) value of the test chemical was determined to be 0.89.

Thus, based on the available information, the logPow valueof the test chemical ranges from 0.119 to 0.89, respectively. On the basis of this value, test chemical can be considered to behydrophilic in nature.
