Details on results:
Effect of temperature on solubilities: At ambient conditions, the mole fraction solubility of 1,8-cineole is 3.3 x 10-4. Raising the temperature to 323 K does not result in a corresponding increase in the mole fraction solubility. Rather, the rise in temperature results in a ca. 40% reduction in mole fraction solubility to. This drop in solubility with increasing temperature continues as the temperature is raised to 373 K. Only after the temperature is raised to 423 K does the mole fraction solubility start to rise, but it is still 15% less that the ambient-temperature solubility. Finally, at 473 K a significant increase in solubility is observed.

Reactivity: No degradation of 1,8-cineole was observed at any temperature.

Conclusions:
The water solubility of 1,8-cineole at 25 °C is 3.3x10-4 (expressed in mole fraction), which corresponds to 295.5 mg/L.
Executive summary:

The solubility of 1,8-cineole was determined in water at temperatures ranging from 298 K to 473 K using a dynamic method for solids reported by Miller and Hawthorne (1998) slightly modified to allow solubility determinations of liquid organic solutes. Analyses were performed using a HP model 5890 GC with flame ionization detection (FID). Also, representative samples were analysed with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS, HP 5973) and compared to standard to check if degradation of test solute occurred. At ambient conditions, the mole fraction solubility of 1,8-cineole was found to be 3.3 x 10-4. Furthermore, no degradation of test substance was observed at any temperature.

Description of key information

Weight of evidence: Individual water solubilities of the main components are available from experimental tests and EpiSuite calculation. The water solubility range of the main components is between 4.58 and 9.5 mg/L. The water solubility of the test substance has been determined to be the lowest of the major components, i.e. 4.58 mg/L.
