Description of key information

Based on the available data from handbook, authoritative and modelling databases, the partition coefficient (log Pow) value of the substance (2-methoxyphenyl)methanol was determined to be 1.13. Based on the experimental value, chemical (2-methoxyphenyl)methanol can be considered to be hydrophilic in nature.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
1.13

Additional information

Based on the available data in a key studyfrom handbook, authoritative and modelling databases, the partition coefficient (log Pow) value of the substance (2-methoxyphenyl)methanol was determined to be 1.13.

In a supportingstudy from peer reviewed journal,the partition coefficient (log Pow) value of the substance (2 -methoxyphenyl)methanol was estimated to be 1.16.

In an another supportingstudy from secondary source,the partition coefficient (log Pow) value of the substance (2 -methoxyphenyl)methanol was determined to be 1.13.

Additional studyfrom predicted database indicates that the octanol waterpartition coefficient (log Pow) value of the substance (2 -methoxyphenyl)methanol was estimated to be 1.144 at 25°C.

Thus, based on the available information, the logPow valueof the test substance (2 -methoxyphenyl)methanol ranges from 1.13 to 1.16, respectively. On the basis of this value, chemical (2 -methoxyphenyl)methanol be considered to be hydrophilic in nature.
