Aqueous solubilities of alkylphenols and methoxyphenols at 25 C

Journal Article · · Journal of Chemical and Engineering Data

The aqueous solubilities of 25 phenolic substances (2-methylphenol; 3-methylphenol; 4-methylphenol; 2,3-dimethylphenol; 2,4-dimethylphenol; 2,5-dimethylphenol; 2,6-dimethylphenol; 3,4-dimethylphenol; 3,5dimethylphenol; 2-ethylphenol: 4-ethylphenol; 2,3,5-trimethylphenol; 2,4,6-trimethylphenol; 3,4,5-trimethylphenol; 4-propylphenol; 2-isopropylphenol; 4-isopropylphenol; 4-butylphenol; 3-tert-butylphenol; 4-tert-butylphenol; 4-hexylphenol; 3,5-di-tert-butylphenol; 4-octylphenol; 3-methoxyphenol; and 4-methoxyphenol) were determined at 25 C, by a conventional shake-flask, batch contacting method with analysis by high-pressure liquid chromatography with LTV detection. Satisfactory agreement was obtained between measured and previously reported solubilities for 10 of these substances. The liquid or supercooled liquid solubilities are satisfactorily correlated with the solute`s LeBas molar volume and with first-order valence molecular connectivity, yielding structure-property relationships that may be useful for predictive purposes.
