Method CIPAC MT 181

No solubility data were found in literature.

Since in the preliminary test, a test item solubility in every solvent tested lower than 10 g/L was estimated, an analytical determination was performed using the shake flask method described in OJEC Method A.6, with the aim to obtain a more accurate value.

 

 

Shake flask method (OJEC A.6)

  

The results of the solvent solubility test are reported in Tables from 4 to 11.

The quality criteria of the Method A.6 were verified (RSD% over three values is < 15%).

 

Representative spectra are presented in Figures from 1 to 6.
