Development of Abraham model correlations for dimethyl adipate from measured solubility data of nonelectrolyte organic compounds

Abstract

ABSTRACT Mole fraction solubilities are reported for acenaphthene, o-acetoacetanisidide, anthracene, benzil, benzoic acid, benzoin, 4-tert-butylbenzoic acid, 1-chloroanthraquinone, 4-chlorobenzoic acid, 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzoic acid, 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid, 3,4-dichlorobenzoic acid, 3,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid, 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid, diphenyl sulphone, 2-ethylanthraquinone, 2-naphthoxyacetic acid, 2-hydroxybenzoic acid, N-hydroxyphthalimide, 2-methoxybenzoic acid, 4-methoxybenzoic acid, 3-methylbenzoic acid, 2-methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid, 3-methyl-4-nitrobenzoic acid, 4-methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid, 3-nitrobenzoic acid, 4-nitrobenzoic acid, salicylamide, 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid, trans-stilbene, thioxanthen-9-one and xanthene dissolved in dimethyl adipate at 298.15 K. Results of these measurements, combined with published literature data for adipic acid, glutaric acid and succinic acid, are used to derive predictive Abraham model correlations. The derived correlations back-calculate the observed solubility data to within ±0.12 log units.
