Conclusions:
The log Kow was determined to be 3.3
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient n-octanol/water (Kow) of tert-Amyl peroxypivalate was estimated using the High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method. The Kow test was performed in accordance with the OECD guideline 117 with a modification, the test- and reference substances were dissolved in methanol. In the test, the average measured Log Kow value for tert-Amyl peroxypivalate was calculated with the retention time from two injections, using the calibration plot of Log k versus Log Kow of the selected reference substances. The average measured Log Kow value for tert-Amyl peroxypivalate, as determined from the test, was 3.3. tert-Amyl peroxypivalate had a Kow of 2.0E+03.
