Type of method:
HPLC method
Partition coefficient type:
octanol-water
Analytical method:
high-performance liquid chromatography
Type:
log Pow
Partition coefficient:
3.53
Temp.:
25 °C
pH:
ca. 7
Details on results:
The estimated log Pow resulted between 0 to 6; the extrapolated log Pow value calculated to be 3.53 at 25 °C and pH ca 7.

The three calibration series and three test item series were measured alternately. The partition coefficient Pow was determined based on a calibration curve using eight reference items. The capacity factors (k) were calculated from the dead time and retention times of the reference substances. The log k data of the reference substances were plotted against their log Pow values.

Executive summary:

The partition coefficient (Pow) of test item was determined using high performance liquid chromatography, according to the OECD guideline 117.

Three series of the reference solutions were measured with two parallel injections, each and three series of the test item solution were measured with two parallel injections each. The three calibration series and three test item series were measured alternately. For the determination of t0 (t0 = retention time of the unretarded component) three series of Thiourea solution was injected twice. The partition coefficient Pow was determined based on a calibration curve using eight reference items. The capacity factors (k) were calculated from the dead time and retention times of the reference substances. The log k data of the reference substances were plotted against their log Pow values.

The estimated log Pow resulted between 0 to 6; the extrapolated log Pow value calculated to be 3.53 at 25 °C and pH ca 7.

Conclusion

logPow: 3.53 at 25 °C and pH ca 7
