Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Solubility of ethandinitrile in organic solvents, including effect of temperature on solubility, is: 
n-Heptane: 41.6 g/l (20°C), Toluene: 70.5 g/l (20°C), Dichloromethane: 121.5 g/l (20°C), Acetone: 216.8 g/l (20°C), Methanol: 19.3 g/l (20°C), Ethanol: 45.2 g/l (20°C), Ethyl acetate: 272.6 g/l (20°C).
Executive summary:

Solubility in organic solvents was evaluated according to Commission Regulation (EU) No 283/2013, SECTION 2. Physical and chemical properties of the active substance, 2.6. Solubility in organic solvents. The collected solution was analysed by means of gas chromatography with FID. Parameters of the chromatographic analysis were as follows:

  • Gas chromatography: HP 6890
  • Column: OV-1, 50m, 0.2 mm ID, layer thickness 0.5 µm
  • Carrier gas: Nitrogen
  • Detector: FID
  • Injector temperature: 250 °C
  • Detector temperature: 250 °C
  • Injected volume: 0.5 µl

Solubility of ethandinitrile in organic solvents, including effect of temperature on solubility, is:  n-Heptane: 41.6 g/l (20°C), Toluene: 70.5 g/l (20°C), Dichloromethane: 121.5 g/l (20°C), Acetone: 216.8 g/l (20°C), Methanol: 19.3 g/l (20°C), Ethanol: 45.2 g/l (20°C), Ethyl acetate: 272.6 g/l (20°C).
