Details on results:
Calculation Method:
Pow Calculation:
The Pow of the test item was calculated to be 1.7 × 103 (log Pow 3.2) using the Rekker calculation method.

pKa Values
No pKa values for acidic and basic groups in the molecular structure of the test item in the logarithm range of 1 - 14 were calculated.

HPLC Method
UPLC-UV chromatograms of the test item solution and corresponding blank are shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5, respectively. In the chromatogram of the test solution one major peak and several small test item peaks were observed.
The results of the HPLC method are given Table 7 (see below). Figure 6 shows the calibration curve of the log k’ of the reference substances as function of log Pow. The equation of the regression line was: log k’ = 0.346 ´ log Pow – 0.839 (r = 0.995, n = 12).

Conclusions:
The HPLC method at neutral pH was applied for the determination of the partition coefficient (Pow) of Hexyl Propionate.
The Pow and log Pow values of the test item at neutral pH were:

Pow log Pow Peak area (%)
Test item – peak 1 9.3 × 102 3.0 0.34
Test item – peak 2 2.2 × 103 3.3 0.054
Test item – peak 3 8.1 × 103 3.9 100

Executive summary:

In this guideline (OECD 117) study, conducted with GLP certification, the octanol-water partition coefficient with the largest peak area % (100%) log Pow was found to be 3.9 at 35 °C.
