Preliminary visual estimation of the n-octanol solubility

Defined amounts of the test item were stirred with increasing volumes of n-octanol at room temperature and visually checked for any undissolved parts.

According to this preliminary test the solubility of the test item in n-octanol was 42 – 106 mg/L (without correction for the purity).

Calculation of the partition coefficient log POW from the preliminary test

The partition coefficient POWmay be estimated from the saturation concentrations in n-octanol and water. The program KOWWIN (part of EPI Suite) was used for calculating the log POW of the test item. The calculated value was 2.1. Therefore, according to the guidelines the partition coefficient n-octanol/water of the test item at room temperature was determined by the HPLC method.
