In the absence of any dissociating functional groups on the test item, no specific manipulation of the mobile phase pH was required. Therefore the determination was performed at an approximately neutral pH.

Analysis of the sec-butanol marker standard solution, a known hydrolysis product of the test item, confirmed that the peak monitored in the test item sample solution was not sec-butanol. In addition, on assessment of the test item sample solution chromatogram at the retention time of sec-butanol, approximately 1 1 minutes, no detectable concentration of sec-butanol was present in the test item sample solution.

Conclusions:
The partition coefficient of the test item has been determined to be 3.98 x 10^3, log Pow 3.60.
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient of di-sec-butyl peroxydicarbonate (CAS# 199 10-65-7) has been determined to be 3.98 x 103, log10 Pow 3.60.

The determination was carried out using an HPLC Method designed to be compatible with Method A8 Partition Coefficient of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008, Method 117 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 13 April 2004 and Method 830.7570 of the OPPTS Guidelines.

[1]The test item peak retention times have been corrected for the internal volume lag between the ultraviolet detector used for construction of the partition calibration curve and the mass selective detector used to monitor the test item. This volume equated to 0.054 minutes and justifies differences in retention time values between the above table.

Conclusions:
In the absence of any relevant dissociating functional groups in the test item, no specific manipulation of the mobile phase pH was required to ensure that the test item was analyzed in an unionized form. Although the mobile phase contained a buffer component, this in no way influenced the retention characteristics of the reference substances or the test item, however it was required to allow detection of the test item, through adduct formation in the mass selective detector.
The partition coefficient of the test item has been determined to be in the range 300 to 3.45 x 10^3, log10 Pow 2.48 to 3.54.
Executive summary:

The determination was carried out using an HPLC Method designed to be compatible with Method A.8 Partition Coefficient of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 117 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 13 April 2004.

The test system consisted of a high performance liquid chromatograph with an appropriate detector. A reverse phase HPLC column with a very low percentage of polar groups was used and the mobile phase contained at least 25 % aqueous phase.

In the absence of any relevant dissociating functional groups in the test item, no specific manipulation of the mobile phase pH was required to ensure that the test item was analyzed in an unionized form. Although the mobile phase contained a buffer component, this in no way influenced the retention characteristics of the reference substances or the test item, however it was required to allow detection of the test item, through adduct formation in the mass selective detector.

Conclusion

The partition coefficient of the test item has been determined to be in the range 300 to 3.45 x 103, log10Pow 2.48 to 3.54.
