Conclusions:
The partition coefficient(n-octanol/water) of test substance N-methyl-N-phenylformamide (CAS No. 93-61-8) was determined as per the HPLC method (OECD Guideline-117). The Log Pow value was determined to be 1.141± 0.007 at 25°C.
Executive summary:

The partition Coefficient n-octanol/water of N-methyl-N-phenylformamide (CAS No.93-61-8) 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 functional similarity with the test substance and calibration graph was prepared . The reference substances were Butanone, Acetophenone, Benzophenone, Phenol, Benzene, 2,6-Diphenylpyridine, 4-Acetylpyridine, 2-Nitrophenol, Nitrobenzene, Naphthalene having Pow value ranging from 0.3 to 4.9 The Log Pow value was determined to be 1.141± 0.007 at 25°C.

Additional information

The partition Coefficient n-octanol/water of N-methyl-N-phenylformamide(CAS No.93-61-8) 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 functional similarity with the test substance and calibration graph was prepared . The reference substances were Butanone, Acetophenone, Benzophenone, Phenol, Benzene, 2,6-Diphenylpyridine, 4-Acetylpyridine, 2-Nitrophenol, Nitrobenzene, Naphthalene having Pow value ranging from 0.3 to 4.9 The Log Pow value was determined to be 1.141± 0.007 at 25°C.

Data from various authoritative databases and handbooks suggests that the LogPow of N-methyl-N-phenylformamide as 1.09. These values indicate that it is hydrophilic in nature, which is also supported by its solubility in water.
