Remarks:

method not applicable.

Principles of method if other than guideline:

According to the OECD guideline 107 before deciding on what procedure to use, a preliminary estimate of the Pow should be obtained from calculation; according to the Pow calculation method described in the annex of the OECD guideline 117 the preliminary estimated log Pow resulted below -2.26. Therefore, the partition coefficient n-octanol / water was estimated from the individual solubility of the test item in water and n-octanol.

Preliminary visual estimation of the n-octanol solubility

Different amounts of the test item were stirred with different amounts of n-octanol at room temperature and visually checked for any undissolved particles.

Appearance of the test mixtures

Amount of test item in mg	Volume in ml	Total volume in ml	Stirring time	Appearance of mixture
100	10	10	60 min	undissolved
100	50	50	60 min	undissolved
10	10	10	50 min	undissolved
10	50	50	95 min	undissolved
1	10	10	95 min	undissolved
0.1	10	10	95 min	undissolved

According to this preliminary test the solubility of the test item in n-octanol is below 10 mg/l (without correction of the purity).

Calculation of the partition coefficient log Pow from the preliminary tests

With the data obtained from the experiments above (cs < 10 mg/l) and in the preliminary test (water solubility: cs = 1.83 g/l) the partition coefficient was calculated as log Pow below -2.26. Due to the fact that the log Pow is below -2, the partition coefficient n-octanol/water has to be estimated from the individual solubility in water and n-octanol.

Determination of the solubility in the n-Octanol phase: Flask Methods

Solubility of the test item –experiments A to D

Experiment	A	B	C	D (Blank)
Amount of test item (mg)	100	100	100	/
Stirring time at 30 °C (h)	24	48	72	72
End volume (ml)	5	5	5	5
Measured concentration (μg/ml)	0.68	0.74	0.87	/
Solubility (mg/l)	0.68	0.74	0.87	/

The values of the measured concentrations of the test item in n-octanol are 0.74 mg/l.

Concentrations of standards for recheck

Standard	Measured concentration (μg/ml)	Recovery rate
Standard 1 (c = 0.92 μg/ml)	0.91	98.90 %
Standard 2 (c = 2.30 μg/ml)	2.32	100.90 %
Standard 4 (c = 9.20 μg/ml)	9.22	100.20 %

Recovery range from 98.9 % to 100.9 % indicates a sufficient accuracy of the analytical method.

Calculation of the partition coefficient log Pow from the individual solubility

By means of the flask method, the saturation concentration of the test item in n-octanol was determined to: 0.74 mg/l

By means of the flask method, the saturation concentration of the test item in water was determined to: 1.83 g/l

Calculation of the partition coefficient from the individual solubility

log Kow: - 3.392 at 20 °C

Executive summary:

According to the OECD guideline 107 before deciding on what procedure to use, a preliminary estimate of the Pow should be obtained from calculation; according to the Pow calculation method described in the annex of OECD guideline 117 the preliminary estimated log Pow resulted below -2.26.
