Details on results:
The predicted partition coefficient determined that a flask method was the most suitable method of analysis, however due to the fast hydrolysis of the test item this method was deemed not suitable and therefore HPLC was conducted. The HPLC method uses a range of standards and as such a limit value was employed on most of the peaks obtained as their retention time was lower than the lowest calibration standard. Limit value agreed with sponsor due to the fast hydrolysis of the test item.

 Preliminary Estimate

The Log10 Pow was calculated to be:       -2.16

Definitive Test

Calibration

The retention times of the dead time and the retention times, capacity factors (k') and log10 Pow values for the reference standards are shown in the following tables:

 Dead time  Retention Time (mins)      Mean retention time (mins)
   Injection 1  Injection 2  
 Thiourea  1.379  1.377  1.378

Partition coefficient of sample

The retention times, capacity factor and log10 Pow value determined for the sample are shown in the following table:

 Peak ID  Injection  Retention time (mins)  Capacity factor k'  Log 10 k'  Log10 Pow  % Area
 1  1  1.345  -2.42 x 10-2  -  >0.3  29.9

Range log10 Pow:       <0.3 to 0.507

Partition coefficient:       <2.00 to 3.22

Conclusions:
The partition coefficient of the test item has been determined to be in the range of less than 2.00 to 3.22, log10 Pow less than 0.3 (70.3% area) to 0.507 (29.7% area) at 20.0 ±0.5 °C.
Executive summary:

The general physico-chemical properties of 9-[2-(2-METHOXYETHOXY)ETHOXY]-9-[3(OXIRANYLMETHOXY)PROPYL]-2,5,8,10,13,16-HEXAOXA-9-SILAHEPTADECANE have been determined.  

Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water).

In the range of less than 2.00 to 3.22, log10 Pow <0.3 (70.3% area) to 0.507 (29.7% area) at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C, using the HPLC method, designed to be compatible with Method A.8 Partition Coefficient of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 117 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 13 April 2004.

Description of key information

Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water)calculated to be in the range of less than 2.00 to 3.22, log10 Pow <0.3 (70.3% area) to 0.507 (29.7% area) at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C, using the HPLC method, designed to be compatible with Method A.8 Partition Coefficient of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 117 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 13 April 2004.

For regulatory purposes the conservative estimate based on the minor peak should be used e.g. <0.507 at 20 ± 0.5 °C
