Vapor pressures were measured to a pressure limit of 270 kPa or lower decomposition point for all compounds using a twin ebulliometric system. Liquid-phase densities along the saturation line were measured for each compound over a range of temperature (ambient to a maximum of 548 K). A differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) was used to measure two-phase (liquid + vapor) heat capacities for each compound in the temperature region ambient to the critical temperature or lower decomposition point.

Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Chemical equilibria of reactions of transalkylation among tert-butylphenols and tert-butylcatechols in the liquid phase were investigated in the temperature range 373-483 K. The molar enthalpies of fusion of the catechol, 4-tert-butylcatechol, and 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol were measured by DSC. The standard molar enthalpies of formation at the temperature T = 298.15 K were measured by means of combustion calorimetry for 4-tert-butylcatechol and 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol. The standard molar enthalpies of sublimation of these compounds, and also the enthalpy of vaporization of 3-tert-butylcatechol, were obtained from the temperature dependence of the vapor pressure measured by the transpiration method.

Description of key information

Vapour pressure experimental values for 4-TBC are available in two peer-reviewed published articles of good reliability (Klimisch 2).

In the first study (Vervkin 2000), the vapour pressure ranged from 0.103 Pa at 30°C to 1.095 Pa at 50°C. this study is considered as the key study.

As supporting data, another experimental study (Steele 1997) shown vapour pressures ranging from 2004 Pa at 165.4°C to 31187 Pa at 243.1°C. The value obtained in this supporting study confirm the key value for chemical safety assessement. Indeed, the vapour pressure measured at high temperature (165 up to 243°C) are higher than the vapour pressures obtained at lower temperature (30 up to 50°C). This observation is consitent with the Clapeyron-Clausius equation.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Vapour pressure:
0.1 Pa
at the temperature of:
30 °C

Additional information

In addition of these two experiementals vapour pressure values, calculations made with a QSAR program which used 2 methods (Mpbpwin program, Antoine and modified Grain method) are consistent together and with the published values. All this body of information leads to consider 4 -TBC poorly volatile.
