Description of key information

Two studies were presented for the determination of the octanol/water partition coefficient.  Boeri (2002) presents a value using the shake-flask method and Baltussen (2003) using the estimation method.  While both methods produced results in a similar context (very hydrophilic), the estimation method is considered more reliable as testing a salt using the shake flask method would enhance solubility in the aqueous phase.  The value of log Pow = <-5 from the estimation method has therefore been selected for this endpoint.
