Conclusions:
The log Pow of the substance is 1.9.

Executive summary:

The log Pow of the substance was determined using the HPLC method in a GLP study according to EC A.8, OECD 117 and OPPTS 830.7570. Formamide was used as unretained substance. Duplicate injections of unretained substance, 6 reference substances and test item in an HPLC-UV system. The mobile phase was 60/40 (v/v) methanol/water and the wavelength of detection was 210 nm. The chromatogram of the test item showed one peak. The mean (n=2) log Pow was determined to be 1.9 (Pow= 8.9E1)

Description of key information

The log Pow of the substance is 1.9.
