Conclusions:
The log Pow of the test item was determined to be 5.34 at 25 °C.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted in accordance with OECD TG 117 and Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.8 to determine the partition coefficient of the test item using the HPLC method. A solution of the test substance was prepared in the mobile phase.After equilibration of the HPLC system, the calibration mixture was injected first, followed by the test chemical solution twice, and the calibration mixture again. Retention times tR were measured and averaged and the decimal logarithms of the capacity factors k were calculated. The linear regression parameters of the relationship log Pow = f(log k) were also calculated from the data obtained with the calibration mixture and, therewith, log Pow of the test substance was determined from its measured capacity factor.The value found for the partition coefficients n-octanol/water is 5.34.
