Principles of method if other than guideline:

Attempts to develop HPLC and spectrophotometric methods of sufficient accuracy for the organic phase analysis met with failure. Consequently, as the concentration in the organic phase could not be determined directly, it was calculated from the analysis of the aqueous phases and stock solution. This is considered satisfactory for the following reasons:
- The method of analysis for the aqueous phases was found to be consistently accurate (recoveries were in the range 96 to 100%).
- A significant amount of test material was found to partition into both phases. Error resulting from indirect analysis of the organic phases will therefore have had negligible effect on the end result.
- A calculated estimate of log Pow, obtained using an atom/fragment contribution technique, was 0.990; this compares favourably with the experimental value of 0.832.

The partition coefficient for each sample is shown in the table below:

Sample number	n-octanol/water volume ratio	Partition coefficient	Log10Pow	Mean partition coefficient
1	2 : 1	6.59	0.819	6.54
2		6.49	0.813
3	1 : 1	6.47	0.811	6.62
4		6.78	0.831
5	1 : 2	7.21	0.858	7.21
6		7.21	0.858

Conclusions:

The partition coefficient of BMS 214702-01 has been determined to be 6.79 at 21.0 +/- 0.5 C, log10Pow = 0.832
Substances having a log10Pow of greater than 3 are regarded as having the potential to bioaccumulate in the environment.

Executive summary:

N-octanol to water partition coefficient for BMS 214702-01 was estimated using the shake-flask method. Method A8 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC. The partition coefficient has been determined to be 6.79 at 21.0 +/- 0.5 C, log10Pow = 0.832.
