Key result
Boiling pt.:
223 °C
Atm. press.:
760 mm Hg
Executive summary:

The boiling point for heptanoic acid reported in 3 handbooks (Perfume and flavors chemicals, Fenaroli's Handbook of Flavor Ingredients and Handbook of Chemistry and Physics) is 223°C at 760 mmHg.

Description of key information

No experimental data is available for the boiling point of heptanoic acid. 
The available literature sources all report a boiling point of heptanoic acid of 223°C at normal pressure (760 mm Hg).
This information is therefore considered relevant and used as a weight of evidence approach.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
223 °C

Additional information

No experimental data is available for the boiling point of heptanoic acid. As the three data coming from the literature are the same (223°C at normal pressure), it is assumed to use this data for the boiling point (weight of evidence approach).
