Conclusions:
The partition coefficient (n-octanol/water) of test substance was determined as per the HPLC method (OECD Guideline-117). The Log Pow value was determined to be 3.633 ± 0.003 dimensionless at 25°C.
Executive summary:

The partition Coefficient n-octanol/water of test chmeical was determined by the Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic method according to OECD Guideline No. 117 for testing of Chemicals. The reference substances were chosen according to estimated Pow range of the test substance and generalized calibration graph was prepared.

The reference substances 4-Acetylpyridine, Benzene, Biphenyl, 1,4-Dichlorobenzene, 1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene, Chlorobenzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene,Naphthalene, n-Butylbenzene, were chosen having log Pow range from 0.5 to 4.6.The Log Pow value was determined to be 3.633 ± 0.003 dimensionless at 25°C.
