Conclusions:
The solubility in seven different organic solvents has been determined. The solubilities determined at 25 °C ranged from 180 mg/L in hexane to 56 g/L in toluene.
Executive summary:

The solubility of test substance has been determined in seven organic solvents in a method similar to CIPAC method MT 157.3 (water solubility: flask method) and in accordance with GLP as there is no general method available for the determination of the solubility in organic solvents. The solubilities determined at 25 °C and quoted to two significant figures are as follows: acetone 18 g/L; methanol 1.7 g/L; dichloromethane 31 g/L; octanol 610 mg/L; ethyl acetate 11 g/L; toluene 56 g/L and hexane 180 mg/L.  

Description of key information

The solubility in seven organic solvents ranged from 180 mg/L in hexane to 56 g/L in toluene, CIPAC MT 157.3, Vijayakumar 2014

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Solubility in organic solvents at 20°C:
180 mg/L
