Conclusions:
The partition coefficient(n-octanol/water) of test substance 4-nitro-o-toluidine (CAS No. 99-52-5)was determined as per the HPLC method (OECD Guideline-117). The Log Pow value was determined to be 1.311 ± 0.0 at 25°C.
Executive summary:

The partition Coefficient n-octanol/water of 4-nitro-o-toluidine(CAS No.99-52-5) was determined by the Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography method according to OECD Guideline No. 117 for testing of Chemicals.The reference substances were chosen according to functional group similarity with the test substance and calibration graph was prepared. The reference substances were benzene, biphenyl, 4-acetylpyridine, nitrobenzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, n-butylbenzene and naphthalene having Pow value ranging from 0.5 to 4.6. The Log Pow value was determined to be 1.311 ± 0.0 at 25°C.

Additional information

The partition Coefficient n-octanol/water of 4-nitro-o-toluidine(CAS No.99-52-5) was determined by the Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography method according to OECD Guideline No. 117 for testing of Chemicals.The reference substances were chosen according to functional group similarity with the test substance and calibration graph was prepared. The reference substances were benzene, biphenyl, 4-acetylpyridine, nitrobenzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, n-butylbenzene and naphthalene having Pow value ranging from 0.5 to 4.6. The Log Pow value was determined to be 1.311 ± 0.0 at 25°C.

Data from various authoritative and modelling databases suggests that the estimated logPow of 2-methyl-4-nitroaniline was 2.020.

These values indicate that 2-methyl-4-nitroaniline is hydrophillic in nature, which is also supported by its solubility in water.
