  Partition Coefficient
CAS Number : 110-88-3
Sponsored Chemical Name : 1,3,5-Trioxane
Test Substance - Partition Coefficient
Test Substance:   (110-88-3) 1,3,5-Trioxane  
Test Substance Purity/Composition
and Other Test Substance Comments: 
   
Test Substance Result Type:    
Results - Partition Coefficient
Partition Coefficient Value/Range
(Log Kow): 
  = -.47 @ Temperature: 25 °C  
Results Remarks:   All three concentration of test material gave similar partition coefficients, they were Po/w of 0.36, 0.32, and 0.34 for test material quantities of 55, 102, 551 mg, respectively.
Log Ko/w was determined to be -0.47 using the shake-flask method.
This result is supported by a literature value of -0.43 ' and by the the Log Kow v1.66 modeling program which estimates a value of -0.56 for Log Ko/w.  
Study/Method - Partition Coefficient
Key Study Sponsor Indicator:    
Year Study Performed:   1989  
Method/Guideline Followed:   Other  
Method/Guideline and
Test Condition Remarks: 
  Shake flask.
Replicates     One replicate per test concentration
Conentration   55, 102, 55 1 mg test material
Volumes        Water: 25 to 35 ml, n-Octanol: 25 ml
Analysis Triplicate GC analysis of each phase of each replicate

Variation From Current OECD Guideline    
This study used single replicates of three test material concentration in relatively fixed volumes of Octanol/water.  The current (1995) OECD 107 guideline calls for duplicate runs at three solvent ratios and possibly test substance quantities.  As the partition coefficient is near unity this deviation is considered to have minimal effect on the routine.  
GLP:   No

Reliability/Data Quality - Partition Coefficient
Reliability:   Valid with Restrictions  
Reliability Remarks:   Study design, conduct and reporting are considered reliable to address the test endpoint although it could not be established that the study was conducted in accord with GLP standards. Study design and reporting meets current EPA/OECD guidelines with minor exceptions.
