Conclusions:
The solubility in seven organic solvents was found to range from 0.1 g/L in hexane to 460 g/L in acetone.
Executive summary:

The solubility of test substance was determined in seven organic solvents. As there is no general method available for the determination of the solubility in organic solvents, a procedure similar to that described in CIPAC method MT 157.3 (water solubility: flask method) was used in this study in compliance with GLP. The solubility was found to range from 0.1 g/L in hexane to 460 g/L in acetone.

Description of key information

Solubility: The solubility was found to range from 0.1 g/L in hexane to 460 g/L in acetone, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, methanol, octanol and toluene, similar to CIPAC MT 157.3 (water solubility), flask method, Kettner 2000

Key value for chemical safety assessment

At the temperature of:
25 °C
Solubility in organic solvents at 20°C:
100 mg/L
