Principles of method if other than guideline:
The partition coefficient (P) is defined as the ratio of the equilibrium concentrations (c) of a dissolved substance in a two-phase system consisting of
two largely immiscible solvents. In the case n-octanol and water:
Pow = C n-octanol / C water
The partition coefficient therefore is the quotient of two concentrations and is usually given in the form of its logarithm to base 10 (log P).
For preliminary information the following calculated value was available (estimation software EPIWIN): log Pow = 5.62 (calculation was made with the measured boiling point: 263°C and the measured melting point (glas transition temperature): -116°C)
As the HPLC method is applicable when the log Pow value falls within the range 0 to 6, that method was chosen for the determination of the partition
coefficient. HPLC is performed on analytical columns packed with a commercially available solid phase containing long hydrocarbon chains chemically bound onto silica. Chemicals injected onto such a column move along it at different rates because of the different degrees of partitioning between
the mobile phase and the hydrocarbon stationary phase. Mixtures of chemicals are eluted in order of their hydrophobicity, with water-soluble
chemicals eluted first and oil-soluble chemicals last, in proportion to their hydrocarbon-water partition coefficient. This enables the relationship
between the retention time on such a (reverse phase) column and the n-octanol / water partition coefficient to be established. The partition
coefficient is deduced from the capacity factor k', given by the expression
t(r) - t(0)
k'= -------------
t(0)
in which, t(r) = retention time of the test substance, and t(o) = average time a solvent molecule needs to pass through the column (dead time).

The test substance was dissolved in n-octanol and water at varying concentrations and analzyed by HPLC. The elution times were used to calculate
the capacity factor k', from which the partition coefficient was deduced.
GLP compliance:
yes

HPLC method

Pow    : Partition Coefficient (n-octanol / water) acc. guideline

Conclusions:
The partition coefficient n-octanol / water (Pow) of Isodecyl methacrylate was determined according to OECD guideline 117 and EU test method A.8 with the HPLC method. Eight isomers of the test item Isodecyl methacrylate were detected during the determination of the partition coefficient (n-octanol/water) log Pow. The partition coefficient n-octanol / water (Pow) was reported to be 6.45, 6.66, 6.88, 6.97, 7.08, 7.35 and 7.44. The results of isomer 2 to isomer 8 were extrapolated. The main component (isomer 5) has an estimated log Pow of 7.08.
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient n-octanol / water (Pow) of Isodecyl methacrylate was determined according to OECD guideline 117 and EU test method A.8 with the HPLC method. Eight isomers of the test item Isodecyl methacrylate were detected during the determination of the partition coefficient (n-octanol/water) log Pow. The partition coefficient n-octanol / water (Pow) was reported to be 6.45, 6.66, 6.88, 6.97, 7.08, 7.35 and 7.44.The results of isomer 2 to isomer 8 were extrapolated. The main component (isomer 5) has an estimated log Pow of 7.08.

The retention times of these eight isomers of the test item Isodecyl methacrylate were between 5.9 and 9.8 minutes. These retention times correspond to partition coefficients (n-octanol/water) between log Pow = 6.45 and 7.44.

Additional information

Read across from structural analogue substance Isodecyl methacrylate CAS: 29964 -84 -9:

The experimental log Pow was determined with 6.45 to 7.44, where the main constituent Isodecyl methacrylate has a log Pow of 7.44. The calculated log Pow of Dodecyl methacrylate (KOWWIN 1.68) is 6.68. Compared with the measured value Isodecyl methacrylate the calculated log Pow of Dodecyl methacrylate is in the same order of magnitude and therefore the calculation method is valid for this group of substances.

Consequently, the calculated value of 6.68 for n-Dodecyl methacrylate is considered as valid.
