Partition coefficient:
4.34
Temp.:
25 °C
Remarks on result:
other: 95 % confidence limits (4.17-4.51)

The log Pow value of the test compound was calculated from its log k' and the calibration line to be (at 25 °C):

 Compound  retention times [min] 1.  retention times [min] 2./3.  mean  log k'  Log Pow
 Epoxid-Valerat 7.03   7.03  7.03  0.81  4.34
Conclusions:
A partition coefficient (log Pow) of 4.34 at 25 °C was determined for Epoxid-Valerat.
Executive summary:

The n-octanol/water partition coefficient of Epoxid-Valerat was determined with the HPLC method according to OECD guideline to be Log Pow = 4.34 at 25 °C. This method is based on the correlation of the reversed phase retention data of the test compound with those of reference compounds with known log Pow values.

Description of key information

A partition coefficient (log Pow) of 4.34 at 25°C was determined for Epoxid-Valerat.
