Injection 2: retention time = 6.31 min / log Pow = 5.550

- The results issued from the 3 determinations with the test item is in the guideline tolerance for repeatability. The mean value of the log Pow is 5.55 (5.550, 5.550 and 5.552).
- Executive summary:
This study was performed according to OECD Guideline 117 with GLP statement, to determine the partition coefficient of the test item by applying the HPLC method.
This methodology was chosen because the estimation of log Pow is 4.66 according to Kowwin v1.68 from the Episuite software. The test item is injected on a liquid chromatography system where a partition occurs between the stationary hydrocarbon phase of the column (Silica C18 100 A) and the eluent phase (methanol at 64% with water at 36%, in isocratic mode). Chemicals are retained according to their partition coefficient, hydrophilic ones being eluted first and hydrophobic ones last. Therefore a relation exists between the retention time and the partition coefficient of a chemical product. The determination of the HPLC retention times of the test item and of the analytical reference items (8 refence items) was made twice. The partition coefficient is given by the following equation: log Pow = m. log k' + b, where k' is the capacity factor of the chromatographic column (k' = (t.r-t.0)/t.0, where t.r is the retention time and t.0 is the dead volume time) and m/b the coefficients of the calibration curve. The dead time t.0 was measured by using unretained formamide. The next step is to plot a correlation log k versus log P for appropriate reference substances with log P values near the value expected for the test substance. The retention times are determined preferably on a recording integrator linked to the detection system. The corresponding logarithms of the capacity factors, log k', are plotted as a function of log P.
Using the capacity factor k' and the partition coefficient log Pow of the reference items, the following calibration curve was obtained: log Pow = 2.8436 log k' + 2.6489 with r² = 0.9863. The results issued from the 3 determinations with the test item is in the guideline tolerance for repeatability. The mean value of the log Pow is 5.55 (5.550, 5.550 and 5.552). The temperature during the measurement did not vary by more than +/- 1°C (55 +/- 0.5°C) and the pH of the mobile phase was 7.4 at this temperature.

- Conclusions:
- The determinations show that for the partition coefficient of OO-t-BUTYL-O-(2-ETHYLHEXYL)MONOPEROXYCARBONATE, the log Pow mean value was 5.20. During the test, the temperature was 25°C and the pH value was 6.86.
- Executive summary:
This study was performed according to the OECD 123 Guideline with GLP statement, to determine the partition coefficient of the test item by applying the slow-stirring method.
A previous analysis performed according to the OECD 117 Guideline (HPLC method) gave a Kow value of 5.5. However it is known that the HPLC method is not accurate and overestimates results for "alkyl" substances due to reference substances which are "benzyl" substances. Moreover, Kow estimated with Epiwin was lower (4.5). Therefore, the present test was performed in order to obtain more accurate results.
The principle of the test is to dilute the test item into water-saturated 1-octanol and add a 1-octanol saturated ultrapure water into a test vessel. Both phases are gently stirred until concentration equilibrium is achieved into both phases (i.e. test item concentrations in both phases do not change with time).
Here, the experiment was performed in triplicate. Initial concentration of the test item into 1-octanol was 5000 mg/L. Water/1-octanol ratio was 32.5. Equilibrium was reached after 24 hours, as shown by its stability into both phases until 77 hours. Item substance was analysed according to a UPLC/MS method validated for both water and 1 -octanol. The mean log Pow value was 5.20 for a mean pH value of 6.86 and a temperature of 25°C.

Description of key information
The partition coefficient of the test substance was determined with the slow-stirring method OECD 123 guideline (most suitable method for this type of compound). The log Kow is 5.20 at T=25 °C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Log Kow (Log Pow):
- 5.2
- at the temperature of:
- 25 °C
Additional information
The partition coefficient OO-t-butyl-O-(2-ethylhexyl)monoperoxycarbonate was firstly evaluated in a study performed in accordance with OECD testing guideline 117 and GLP requirements. The partition coefficient was of 5.55 at 55°C. However it's known that the HPLC method is not accurate and overestimates results for "alkyl" substances due to reference substances which are "benzyl" substances.
Therefore it was decided to perform a new Kow determination according to OECD 123 guideline which is the most suitable methode for this type of compound. The Log Kow has been determined to be 5.20 at T=25°C.
