Reference
Endpoint:
boiling point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
6 Feb - 13 Mar 2002
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.2 (Boiling Temperature)
Version / remarks:
Test method test method A.2 (section 1.4.6), "determination of the boiling point", described in the EG- guideline 92/69.
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
differential thermal analysis
Remarks:
The sample is closed up in a crucible made of aluminium with perforated lid and heated up in a DTA-system (heating rate 5 K/min). In comparison with an inert sample the temperature difference and the heat effect is recorded.
Key result
Boiling pt.:
169.7 °C
Decomposition:
no
Remarks on result:
other: No atmospheric pressure is stated.

The key value is the mean of two measured values: 169.7 °C and 169.7 °C.


 


Up to a temperature of 300 °C there is no thermal decomposition of the test substance (measured with Differential Thermal Analysis: The sample is closed up in a crucible made of glass. The sample is heated up in a DTA-system (heating rate 5 K/min). In comparison with an inert sample (empty crucible) the temperature difference and the heat effect is recorded. Any thermal effect corresponds to a baseline deviation).


 


Validity criteria for the measurement of the boiling point:

























Target condition according to guideline 92/69/EWG A.2:Actual condition according to the study:Validity criteria met:
The heating rate should not exceed 10 K/min.Heating rate was 5 K/min.Yes
The mean of at least two measurements which are in the range of the estimated accuracy (accuracy for this method according to the guideline is +/- 0.5 K up to 600 K) is reported as the boiling temperature.Two values were determined - there is no variation between the measured values.Yes
The measured boiling temperatures and their mean shall be stated and the pressure(s) at which the measurements were made shall be reported in kPa. The pressure should preferably be close to normal atmospheric pressure.The atmospheric pressure is not stated.No. Nevertheless, although the pressure is not stated one can assume that the study was performed at atmospheric pressure as the study was performed according to guideline 92/69/EWG A.2, where specifications for the pressure are stated ("the boiling temperature is stated with regard to the ambient pressure during the measurement").

 

Conclusions:
The boiling point of the test substance is 169.7°C.
Up to a temperature of 300 °C there is no thermal decomposition of the test substance.
Executive summary:

The boiling point of the test substance is 169.7°C.
Up to a temperature of 300 °C there is no thermal decomposition of the test substance.
