weight of evidence
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Remarks:
The method is well described and was used for several substances. The technique was checked in some substances by a potentiometric method.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
reference to same study
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Partition coefficient determined spectrophotometrically in octanol-water solution at 37ºC.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of method:
other: Spectrophotometric method.

Temp.:
37 °C
Remarks on result:
other: pH independent
Type:
log Pow
Partition coefficient:
4.17
Temp.:
37 °C
Remarks on result:
other: pH independent
Conclusions:
The partition coefficient (octanol/water) of BHT was 14700.
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient of BHT was determined by a spectrophotometric method. The technique was checked on several compounds for which the partition coefficient was determined by a potentiometric technique (phenol, thymol, p-cresol, propyl-paraben). The partition coefficient (octanol/water) of BHT at 37ºC was 14700, the log Pow was 4.17.

Description of key information
