Abstract
The solubility of cyclododecanone (CDON) was determined in twelve solvents containing acetonitrile, acetone, toluene, ethyl acetate, cyclohexane, 1,2-dichloroethane, methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, i-propanol, n-butanol and i-butanol. The temperature range for the remaining solvents used in the experiment was 278.15–313.15 K, except for cyclohexane (283.15–313.15 K). The CDON solubility in solvents measured increased with growing temperature. The CDON solubility varies considerably in different solvents. Among the single solvents selected, CDON was most soluble in 1,2-dichloroethane and least in acetonitrile. The solubility in 1,2-dichloroethane is about 2–3 times higher than in acetonitrile. The carbonyl oxygen of CDON readily combines with alcoholic solvents to form hydrogen bonds. Hansen solubility parameters (HSP) and the physiochemical properties of the solvents explain the solvent effect in diverse solvents. To understand CDON dissolution, the electrostatic potential energy surfaces of CDON and the solute–solvent interactions were analyzed at the molecular level on the basis of density functional theory (DFT). Analysis of solvation effects revealed that variations in the CDON dissolution are influenced by a combination of factors rather than a single one. In addition, the Van't Hoff equation, modified Apelblat equation, Yaws equation, λh equation, Wilson model and Jouyban model were utilized to correlate the experimentally obtained value. The computational data show that the ARD (0.88%) and RMSD (0.24%) of Wilson model are the smallest among the selected equations with the best correlation. The apparent thermodynamic properties of CDON dissolution were further accounted for Van't Hoff equation, and the CDON dissolution was observed to be endothermic and entropy-driven.
