Conclusions:
The partition coefficient (n-octanol/water) of test substance was determined as per the HPLC method (OECD Guideline-117). The Log Pow value was determined to be 2.4898 ± 0.001 dimensionless at 25°C.
Executive summary:

The partition Coefficient n-octanol/water of test chmeical 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 estimated Pow range of the test substance and generalized calibration graph was prepared. The reference substances were acetophenone, benzophenone, phenol, benzene, methyl benzoate, 2,6-Diphenylpyridine, 4-Acetylpyridine, 2-nitrophenol, nitrobenzene and naphthalene were chosen having Pow value ranging from 0.5 to 4.9.

The Log Pow value was determined to be 2.4898 ± 0.001 dimensionless at 25°C.

This value indicates that the substance is hydrophilic in nature.

Description of key information

The Log Pow value was determined to be 2.4898 ± 0.001dimensionless at 25°C.

This value indicates that the substance is hydrophilic in nature.

Additional information

The partition Coefficient n-octanol/water of test chmeical 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 estimated Pow range of the test substance and generalized calibration graph was prepared. The reference substances were acetophenone, benzophenone, phenol, benzene, methyl benzoate, 2,6-Diphenylpyridine, 4-Acetylpyridine, 2-nitrophenol, nitrobenzene and naphthalene were chosen having Pow value ranging from 0.5 to 4.9.

The Log Pow value was determined to be 2.4898 ± 0.001dimensionless at 25°C.

Further, data from peer reviewed articles, modelling and authoritative data suggests that the estimated logPow of test chemical was 3.55 dimensionless.

These values indicate that the substance is hydrophilic in nature.
