Solubility data of alkanoic acids
More than 100 years of chemical, engineering, and pharmaceutical literature have been reviewed to deliver an updated compilation of solubility data for various alkanoic acids dissolved in organic and aqueous–organic solvent mixtures.
Volume 105 of the IUPAC-NIST Solubility Data Series extends the coverage of the series to include crystalline alkanoic acids, alkenoic acids and alkanedioic acids, and incorporates measurement uncertainty into the compilations to the extent possible. The fore-mentioned classes of carboxylic acids are used in the manufacture of soaps and skin cleansing creams, cosmetics, lubricants, pharmaceuticals and in photographic and food packing materials.
Part I of the volume reports the solubility of 15 alkanoic acids: W. E. Acree, Jr. and W. E. Waghorne, J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data 50, 043103 (2021); https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0062574
Part II of the volume discusses the solubility of the following ten alkenoic acids: (E)-docos-13-enoic acid (also called brassidic acid), (2E)-but-2-enoic acid (also called trans-crotonic acid), (9E)-octadec-9-enoic acid (also called elaidic acid), (Z)-docos-13-enoic acid (also called erucic acid), (9Z,12Z)-9,12-octadecadienoic acid (also called linoleic acid), octadecatrienoic acid (also called linolenic acid), 2-methylpropenoic acid (also called methacrylic acid), (9Z)-octadec-9-enoic acid (also called oleic acid), (6E)-octadec-6-enoic acid (also called petroselaidic acid), and (6Z)-octadec-6-enoic acid (also called petroselenic acid). One alkynoic acid, 9-octadecynoic acid (also called 9-stearolic acid), is also included: W. E. Acree, Jr. and W. E. Waghorne, J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data 50, 043105 (2021); https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0067051
The concluding part of the three-part series will consider the solubility for several alkanedioic acids and alkenedioic acids dissolved in both organic mono-solvents and binary solvent mixtures. In total, solubility data for 45 different carboxylic acids will be contained in this volume.
