Preliminary Visual Estimation of the n-Octanol Solubility

Different amounts of the test item and water were stirred at room temperature until the mixture appeared dissolved or the water solubility could be estimated to be below 10 mg/L.

Preliminary Visual Estimation of the n-Octanol Solubility

Different amounts of the test item were stirred with a defined amount of n-octanol at room temperature and visually checked for any undissolved parts.

 The solubility of the test item in n-octanol is higher than 387 g/L.

 With the data obtained the partition coefficient was calculated as: log Pow > 4.6. Therefore the partition coefficient n-octanol/water of the test item at room temperature was determined by the HPLC-method.

Conclusions:
The logPow was determined to be 6.5 using the HPLC method.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted in accordance with OECD TG 117 and Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.8 to determine the partition coefficient of the test substance using the HPLC method (reference 4.7 -1). Therefore 574 mg of the dead time marker were dissolved in 25 mL methanol and diluted from 0.1 mL to 1 mL with methanol / distilled water 75.25 % (v/v) and injected as single solutions twice. The calibration substances were dissolved in methanol and diluted from 0.1 mL to 1 mL with methanol / distilled water 75:25 % (v/v) and injected as single solutions twice. 8.0 mg of the test item were dissolved in 50 mL methanol and diluted from 0.1 mL to 1.75 mL with methanol / distilled water 40:60 % (v/v) and injected as single solutions twice. Retention times tR were measured and averaged and the decimal logarithms of the capacity factors k were calculated. The linear regression parameters of the relationship log Pow = f(log k) were also calculated from the data obtained with the calibration mixture and, therewith, log Pow of the test substance was determined from its measured capacity factor. The logPow of the test item was determined to be 6.5 at 25 °C.
