Details on results:
Preliminary Estimate
The log10 Pow was calculated to be 22.9

Discussion
No additional manipulation of the mobile phase pH was necessary to ensure that the test item was tested in its unionized form. As the dissociation constants of the alcohol functional groups were estimated to be ≥9.4 (Advanced Chemistry Development, Inc., Toronto, Canada, ACD pKa, algorithm version v12.1.0.50374), the test item would be unionized at an approximately neutral pH.
