Conclusions:
The boiling point of the substance 4-phenylbutenone was calculated to be 234.42 °C by taking the adapted Stein and Brown Method of the MPBPWIN program v1.43 into account. Finally, an experimental value is also stated in the database of the program: 261 °C.
Executive summary:

The estimation of the boiling point at 760 mm Hg (as well as melting point and vapour pressure) can be done by the MPBPWIN program (v1.43) owned by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (Chemservice GmbH, 2011). No GLP criteria are applicable for the usage of this tool and the QSAR estimation is easily repeatable. This program requires just the input of the chemical structure of the desired compound by SMILES notation. The estimation methodology for the boiling point has been adapted from the Stein and Brown method ("Estimation of Normal Boiling Points from Group Contributions", J. Chem. Inf. Comput. Sci. 34: 581-87, 1994). By taking this method into account the substance 4-phenylbutenone has an estimated boiling point of 234.42 °C. Finally, an experimental value is also stated in the database of the program, which confirms the estimated result: 261 °C.

Description of key information

1a) Boiling point: 234.4 °C [Adapted Stein and Brown Method; calculation with MPBPVPWIN v1.43 (EPIWIN software by US-EPA)]
1b) Boiling point: 261 °C [exp. data; MPBPWIN 1.43 (EPIWIN software by US-EPA)]
2) Boiling point: 261°C [GESTIS substance database]

3) Boiling point: 260.8±9.0 °C (at 760 Torr = 101325 Pa) [Calculation (ACD Labs software v9.1)]

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
261 °C

Additional information

The boiling point of the substance 4-phenylbutenone was calculated to be 234.42 °C by taking the adapted Stein and Brown Method of the MPBPWIN program v1.43 into account. Finally, an experimental value is also stated in the database of the program: 261 °C. In the GESTIS substance database a boiling point of 261 °C is reported, too. Further, the calculation with another program (ACD Labs software v9.1) resulted in a boiling point of 260.8±9.0 °C, which also confirms this result. Therefore, 261 °C was taken as key value for chemical safety assessment.
