Solubility of 2-(2,4,6-trichlorophenoxy)ethyl bromide in methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, acetonitrile, n-heptane, and acetone

The solubilities of 2-(2,4,6-trichlorophenoxy)ethyl bromide in methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, acetone, acetonitrile, and n-heptane were measured using the analytical stirred-flask method over the temperature range from (278.2 to 323.2) K. The results showed that acetone had highest solubilities and solubilities of 2-(2,4,6- trichlorophenoxy)ethyl bromide in different solvents increase with temperature. The experimental data were regressed by the λh equation and the modified Apelblat equation. The calculated solubilities showed good agreement with the experimental data and had acceptable precision for industrial applications. In addition, the melting point of 2-(2,4,6-trichlorophenoxy)ethyl bromide determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was 324.05 K, and the melting enthalpy was 79.02 J·g^-1. The results of DSC also indicated that 2-(2,4,6-trichlorophenoxy)ethyl bromide did not have any enantiotropically related polymorphs.
