Abstract
The n‐octanol/water partition coefficients (K ow) and water solubilities (S w) of 11 phenylacrylates were determined by the shake‐flask method. Their capacity factors (k′) were determined by reversed‐phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP‐HPLC) with C18 column and methanol water eluent. It was found that both log K ow and log S w had good correlations with log k′, respectively. Linear solvation energy parameters, describing the interaction of molecules accurately, were calculated for these compounds and used to predict their partition properties. Results demonstrated that three partition properties could be predicted precisely with similar models based on linear solvation energy relationships, which indicated the similarity of their partition mechanisms.
