Description of key information
log Kow of alpha-pinene: 4.46. This value is the arithmetical mean of 4 data on (+)-alpha-pinene, (-)-alpha-pinene and unspecified alpha-pinene.
Three consistent literatures data and one QSAR estimated value for the partition coefficient of (+)-, (-)- and unspecified alpha-pinene were reported and can be considered as consistent (same order of magnitude):
o The partition coefficient of alpha pinene was measured to be 4.487 ± 0.004 at 25 °C using the shake-flask method similarly to OECD Guideline 107;
o The partition coefficient of (-)-alpha pinene was measured to be 4.48 (S.E. = 0.06) at 37 °C using Reverse Phase HPLC method similarly to OECD Guideline 117;

o The partition coefficient of (+)-alpha pinene was measured to be 4.44 (S.E. = 0.06) at 37 °C using Reverse Phase HPLC method similarly to OECD Guideline 117;
Then, a mean value can be calculated to give a representative partition coefficient of alpha-pinene. The arithmetical mean value of these 4 results, log Kow = 4.46, will be retained as Key value for chemical assessment.
