Conclusions:
The partition coefficient (Log Kow) is considered to be 6.26 based on calculation by the US EPA On-Line EPI Suite™ v4.11 model KOWWIN modelling programme. All variations of the molecule give the same calculated results.
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient (Log Kow) is considered to be 6.26 based on calculation by the US EPA On-Line EPI Suite™ v4.11 model KOWWIN modelling programme.  All variations of the molecule give the same calculated results.

The substance is highly water reactive and unstable in water, as it is designed as a water scavenger.  As such, the water solubility and octanol partition coefficient studies, if conducted, would give values based on the reaction products and not the actual substance itself.  As such, it is considered appropriate to assess the substance using QSAR data, rather than waive the study.  The results of the QSAR investigation are therefore appended.

Details on results:
A total of six reference substances were prepared and injected in duplicate (once at the beginning and once near the end of the HPLC sequence). The retention times for one of the reference substances, thiourea, was used to determine the HPLC system dead time (t0) for use in calculating capacity factors (k) of the remaining reference substances and the test substance. The mean retention time of thiourea was 0.857 minutes.
Five additional reference substances were analyzed. The capacity factors of all the reference substances were calculated based upon their retention times.
Before the initial injection of the reference standards, an injection of a reagent blank solution (75%:25% MeOH: H2O, v/v) showed that the reagents used were free of any contaminants and confirmed the peak retention assignments for the reference substances.
The three 50.0 mg a.i./L test substance solutions were sequentially injected. The test substance eluted as one distinct peak on the UV detector. A fourth test substance solution at 200 mg a.i./L was subsequently injected to verify that the peak was correctly attributed to the test substance. The test substance eluted as five peaks. The capacity factor (k) was calculated based on the retention times and the results for the three injections were averaged. The corresponding Log POW mean value were calculated to be 3.6, 3.8, 3.9, >6.5, and >6.5, as the retention time of the test substance was greater than the retention time of the most highly retained reference substance. The Log POW’s can be extrapolated as 6.6 and 6.9.
Since the test material is known to hydrolyze quickly based on discussions with the Sponsor, the Log POW of a reference material consisting of the hydrolysis products of the test material, Trixene AS was determined in a similar manner as the test material.
