Conclusions:
The partition coefficient of test substance was determined as per the HPLC method (OECD Guideline-117). The Log Pow value was determined to be 3.127± 0.001 at 25°C.
Executive summary:

The partition Coefficient n-octanol/water of test chemical was determined by the Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic method according to OECD Guideline No. 117 for testing of Chemicals. The reference substances were chosen according to structural similarity with the test substance. The reference substances were 4-Methoxy phenol, benzene, Toluene, Ethyl benzene, biphenyl, n butyl benzene having Pow value ranging from 1.3 to 4.6. The Log Pow value was found to be 3.127± 0.001 at 25°C.

Description of key information

Additional information

The partition Coefficient n-octanol/water of test chemical was determined by the Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic method according to OECD Guideline No. 117 for testing of Chemicals. The reference substances were chosen according to structural similarity with the test substance. The reference substances were 4-Methoxy phenol, benzene, Toluene, Ethyl benzene, biphenyl, n butyl benzene having Pow value ranging from 1.3 to 4.6. The Log Pow value was found to be 3.127± 0.001 at 25°C.

Based on the data obtained from various authoritative sources, the partition coefficient (log Pow) value of test chemical was determined to be 3.06 dimensionless.

Thus, based on the data obtained from the various sources, partition coefficient of test chemical ranges from 3.127 to 3.06 dimensionless.
