Executive summary:

The partition Coefficient n-octanol/water of test chemical 1-phenylethan-1-ol (CAS No. 98-85-1) was determined by the Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic method according to OECD Guideline No. 117 for testing of Chemicals. A test item solution was prepared by accurately pipetting 4 microlitre of test item and diluted with Acetonitrile up to 10 ml. Thus, the test solution concentration was 404.8 mg/l(calculated according to its density).The pH of test substance was 6.2. The reference substances were chosen according to functional similarity with the test substance and calibration graph was prepared . The reference substances were Benzene, Biphenyl, Cinnamyl alcohol, 4-Methylbenzyl alcohol, Benzyl alcohol, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, n-Butylbenzene, Naphthalene, Allyl phenyl ether having Pow value ranging from 1.1 to 4.6. The Log Pow value of the test substance 1-phenylethan-1-ol was determined to be 1.636 ± 0.003 dimensionless at 25°C. On the basis of this value, test substance 1-phenylethan-1-ol can be considered to be hydrophillic in nature.
