Calculation method:
Calculation of the Pow: The Pow of the test substance was calculated to be 2884 ± 103 (log Pow 3.46) using the Rekker calculation method.

Calculation of the pKa:
The following pKa values in the logarithm range of 1-14 for acidic and basic groups in the molecular structure of the test substance were calculated using the Perrin calculation method:

Acidic
RRCHOH pKa 13.2
No pKa values for basic groups in the molecular structure of the test substance in the logarithm range of 1-14 were calculated.
