DEFINITIVE TEST
Calibration
The retention times of the dead time and the retention times, capacity factors and log10 Pow values for the reference standards were:
- Formamide: mean retention time = 1.562 mins
- 2-Butanone: mean retention time = 2.120 mins, capacity factor (k’) = 0.357, Log10 Pow = 0.3
- Aniline: mean retention time = 2.527 mins 0.618, capacity factor (k’) = -0.209, Log10 Pow = 0.9
- Benzyl Alcohol: mean retention time = 2.963 mins, capacity factor (k’) = 0.896, Log10 Pow = 1.1
- Benzonitrile: mean retention time = 4.262 mins, capacity factor (k’) = 1.728, Log10 Pow = 1.6
- Benzene: mean retention time = 8.503 mins, capacity factor (k’) = 4.442, Log10 Pow = 2.1
- Toluene: mean retention time = 17.989 mins, capacity factor (k’) = 10.514, Log10 Pow = 2.7

Partition coefficient of sample
The retention times, capacity factor and log10 P ow value determined for the sample are:
- Retention time (mins) = 5.069 (injection 1) and 4.925 (injection 2)
- Capacity factor (k’) = 2.244 (injection 1) and 2.152 (injection 2)
- Log10 k’ = 0.351 (injection 1) and 0.333 (injection 2)
- Log10 Pow = 1.69 (injection 1) and 1.66 (injection 2)
- Mean log10 Pow: 1.67
- Partition coefficient: 47.1

Discussion

- The HPLC method was preferred based on the necessity to minimise exposure of the test material to the atmosphere.

- The mobile phase was adjusted to pH 10.6 to ensure the test material was tested in its non-ionised form.

- The chromatography of the test material showed one main peak with a well-defined and reproducible retention time. The HPLC method was therefore considered to be suitable for the purpose of the study.

- The test material has a highest predicted dissociation constant of 8.2 ± 0.5 using ACD/Labs I-Lab 2.0 - ilab.acdlabs.com, algorithm version: v5.0.0.184. As testing was carried out at pH 10.6, a correction was made to obtain an estimated log10 Pow value for the test material at an environmentally relevant pH, i.e. pH 7. The corrected log10 Pow was calculated using:

P’ow = (Pow / 1+10^(pKa-pH))

P'ow = corrected partition coefficient

Pow = HPLC estimated partition coefficient

pKa = 8.2

pH = 7

- The test material has a corrected partition coefficient of 2.80, log10 P'ow 0.446 at pH 7.

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, the partition coefficient of the test material has been determined to be 47.1, log10 Pow 1.67. The test material has a corrected partition coefficient of 2.80, log10 P'ow 0.446 at pH 7.
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 117 and EU Method A.8., under GLP conditions.
