Determination of Abraham model solute descriptors for 2-methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid from measured solubility data in alcohol, alkyl ether, alkyl acetate and 2-alkoxyalcohol mono-solvents. (2nd November 2017) - Hart, Erin
ABSTRACT: Spectroscopic methods are employed to measure the solubility of 2-methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid dissolved in 10 alcohol, 3 alkyl ether, 5 alkyl acetate and 3 alkoxyalcohol solvents at 298.2 K. 2-Methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid is believed to exist in monomeric form in each of the organic solvents studied. The measured solubilities are used to calculate the Abraham model solute descriptors for the monomeric form of 2-methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid, which will enable one to predict the solubility of 2-methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid in additional organic solvents. The derived solute descriptors back-calculated the observed solubility data to within 0.06 log units.
