- Details on results:
- In each of the solutions, with the exception of Heptane, solubility was achieved within 1 minute of shaking, and the test material remained in solution after the 30 minute incubation period.
In the case of Heptane, whilst the preliminary test suggested a solubility range of 25 - 33 g/L, under the controlled conditions of the main test the test material was observed to be partially undissolved after each solvent addition and shaking/ incubation period, with material remaining at the end of the test. The solubility is therefore reported as < 10 g/L in Heptane. - Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study the solubility of the test material in organic solvents was found to be < 10g/L in heptane and greater than 250 g/L in toluene, dichloroethane, methanol, acetone and ethyl acetate.
- Executive summary:
The solubility of the test material in organic solvents was assessed according to CIPAC method MT181 and in compliance with GLP.
The approximate amount of test material as determined by the preliminary test was weighed in duplicate into 10 mL stoppered measuring cylinders (two determinations per solvent) and 2 mL solvent added to each. The mixture was shaken for 10 minutes (or until the test material was observed to have fully dissolved) and placed in an incubator at 20 ± 1 °C for at least 30 minutes, with intermittent shaking. Further additions of solvent were made according to the procedure where the test material had not dissolved, with the shaking/incubation procedure repeated after each solvent addition.
In each of the solutions, with the exception of Heptane, solubility was achieved within 1 minute of shaking, and the test material remained in solution after the 30 minute incubation period.
In the case of Heptane, whilst the preliminary test suggested a solubility range of 25 - 33 g/L, under the controlled conditions of the main test the test material was observed to be partially undissolved after each solvent addition and shaking/ incubation period, with material remaining at the end of the test.

- The concentration of the test material in solution does not change significantly between 30 minutes and 4 hours, therefore the solution can be considered to be saturated. The mean solubility is calculated from the 7 values obtained (outlier excluded). The %RSD of the determinations was calculated at 1.01 %, thus demonstrating acceptable precision.
The solubility of the test material in Heptane was determined as 7.69 g/L at 20 °C. This value is consistent with the estimated value of < 10 g/L reported previously. - Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study the solubility of the test material in Heptane was determined to be 7.69 g/L at 20 °C.
- Executive summary:
The solubility of the test material in heptane was assessed according to CIPAC method MT157 and in compliance with GLP.
Approximately 1.5 g of the test material was added to 100 mL Heptane in a wide necked conical flask. The mixture was stirred in an incubator at 20 ± 1 °C using a magnetic stirrer. After 30 minutes stirring, an aliquot of approximately 5 mL of the solution was filtered through a 0.45 μm syringe filter into a 20 mL scintillation vial and capped. Stirring was recommenced, and further 5 mL samples were taken after 1, 2 and 4 hours stirring. The temperature in the incubator was monitored throughout the period and recorded at each sampling point. The temperature remained at 20° C throughout the stirring period. The test material content of the heptane solutions was determined by HPLC using an external standard procedure.
The concentration of the test material in solution does not change significantly between 30 minutes and 4 hours, therefore the solution can be considered to be saturated.

PRELIMINARY TESTS
The solubility of the test material in acetone, ethylacetate, methanol and 2-propanol was estimated to be > 1 000 g/L.
The solubility of the test material in acetonitrile, dichloromethane, n-heptane, 1-octanol and p-xylene was estimated to be 758 g/L, 968 g/L, 8.11 g/L, 777 g/L and 300 g/L.
No significant differences were observed between the concentrations analysed after the second and third centrifugation step.
MAIN STUDY
The 24, 48 and 72 hours measurements were in agreement. Therefore, the n-heptane, 1-octanol and p-xylene solubility of the test material was calculated as the mean value of all measurements. - Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study the solubility of the test material in acetone, ethylacetate, methanol and 2-propanol was estimated to be > 1 000 g/L at room temperature.
The solubility of the test material in acetonitrile and dichloromethane was determined to be 758 g/L and 968 g/L at room temperature.
The solubility of the test material in n-heptane, 1-octanol and p-xylene was determined to be 8.65 g/L, 710 g/L and 314 g/L at 20.0 ± 1.0 °C, using the flask method. - Executive summary:
The solubility of the test material in nine organic solvents was assessed according to OECD Test Guideline 105 and EU Method A.6. and in compliance with GLP.
For each solvent, a preliminary test was carried out as a range finding test prior to performance of the main study (using either the flask or column elution method). During the preliminary test, the solubility of the test material in acetone, ethylacetate, methanol and 2-propanol was determined to be > 1 000 g/L and therefore it was not necessary to perform the main study for these solvents. Because the solubility of the test material in acetonitrile and dichloromethane was also very high (>750 g/L), the main study was also not carried out for these solvents.
The flask method was used for subsequent performance of the main study. For the determination of the solubility in n-heptane, 1-octanol and p-xylene, amounts of 1.03 - 1.12 g, 10.02 - 10.23 g, and 10.00 - 10.09 g of the test material, respectively, were weighed into each of three Erlenmeyer flasks. To each flask, 10 mL (for n-heptane 25 mL) organic solvent was added. The flasks were securely closed and placed on a magnetic stirring device in a thermostatically controlled water-bath at 30 °C. The content of each flask was stirred for 24, 48 or 72 hours. After the stirring periods, the flasks were removed from the water-bath and re-equilibrated for 24 hours at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C, with occasional agitation. The concentration of the test material was determined using HPLC.
Under the conditions of the study the solubility of the test material in acetone, ethylacetate, methanol and 2-propanol was estimated to be > 1 000 g/L at room temperature. The solubility of the test material in acetonitrile and dichloromethane was determined to be 758 g/L and 968 g/L at room temperature. The solubility of the test material in n-heptane, 1-octanol and p-xylene was determined to be 8.65 g/L, 710 g/L and 314 g/L at 20.0 ± 1.0 °C, using the flask method.

- Executive summary:
The solubility of the test material in organic solvents was assessed according to EPA Guideline, Subdivision D, 63 - 8 and in compliance with GLP.
The concentrations of the saturated solutions were measured by quantitative thin layer chromatography.
A weighed amount of the test material was filled into a 4 mL flask. 0.5 mL of an organic solvent was added. In a tempered water bath the mixture was magnetically stirred at 20 °C for 2 hours. Solids remained in all the samples. The samples remained for an additional hour in the water bath without stirring. The saturated solutions were separated (from the remaining solids) by filtering through an Anotop-filter. An aliquot of 0.5 mL of the filtrates was transferred into measuring flasks respectively. The weight of the aliquots were determined before filling up to the mark with diisopropylether. If necessary further dilutions were made. For quantification by TLC, calibration solutions were prepared and applied to every TLC-plate used. A weighed amount of about 53 mg of the test material was dissolved in a 50 mL measuring flask with diisopropylether.
Under the conditions of the study the test material is readily soluble in most of the tested solvents, with the exception of n-heptane in which it is slightly soluble, and olive oil in which it is moderately soluble.

Additional information
Comb (2000)
The solvent solubility of the test material was assessed according to EPA OPPTS Method 830.7840 and in compliance with GLP using a flask shake method based on EEC Method A6. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
The method consists of measuring the concentration of the test material in saturated solutions by an appropriate chromatography method, in this case HPLC. The solubility of the test material was determined in each of the following solvents: n-Heptane, xylene, 1,2-dichloroethane, methanol, n-octanol, acetone and ethyl acetate.
The detector calibration was found to be linear over the range 0 to 218 mg/L of standard solutions in mobile phase with a regression coefficient of 1.0000.
No significant peaks were observed in the chromatograms of control samples indicating that the analytical method was free from interference.
Under the conditions of the study the solubility of the test material was found to be 9.75 g/L in n-heptane; greater than 250 g/L in xylene; greater than 250 g/L in 1,2-dichloroethane; greater than 250 g/L in methanol; 177 g/L in n-octanol; greater than 250 g/L in acetone; and greater than 250 g/L in ethyl acetate.

The solubility of the test material was assessed according to EPA FIFRA Subdivision D § 63-8 and in compliance with GLP using the flask method. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
The solubility of the test material was determined inacetone, dichloromethane and hexane. Test material content was analysed by HPLC/UV analysis.
Under the conditions of the study the solubility of the test material in acetone, dichloromethane and hexane was 2 681.0 g/L, 1 148.0 g/L and 16.69 g/L respectively at 20 °C.
Wilson (2014)
The solubility of the test material in organic solvents was assessed according to CIPAC method MT181 and in compliance with GLP. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
The approximate amount of test material as determined by the preliminary test was weighed in duplicate into 10 mL stoppered measuring cylinders (two determinations per solvent) and 2 mL solvent added to each. The mixture was shaken for 10 minutes (or until the test material was observed to have fully dissolved) and placed in an incubator at 20 ± 1 °C for at least 30 minutes, with intermittent shaking. Further additions of solvent were made according to the procedure where the test material had not dissolved, with the shaking/incubation procedure repeated after each solvent addition.
In each of the solutions, with the exception of Heptane, solubility was achieved within 1 minute of shaking, and the test material remained in solution after the 30 minute incubation period.
In the case of Heptane, whilst the preliminary test suggested a solubility range of 25 - 33 g/L, under the controlled conditions of the main test the test material was observed to be partially undissolved after each solvent addition and shaking/ incubation period, with material remaining at the end of the test.
Under the conditions of the study the solubility of the test material in organic solvents was found to be < 10g/L in heptane and greater than 250 g/L in toluene, dichloroethane, methanol, acetone and ethyl acetate.
Wilson (2015)
The solubility of the test material in heptane was assessed according to CIPAC method MT157 and in compliance with GLP. The study was awarded a reliability score of 2 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
Approximately 1.5 g of the test material was added to 100 mL Heptane in a wide necked conical flask. The mixture was stirred in an incubator at 20 ± 1 °C using a magnetic stirrer. After 30 minutes stirring, an aliquot of approximately 5 mL of the solution was filtered through a 0.45 μm syringe filter into a 20 mL scintillation vial and capped. Stirring was recommenced, and further 5 mL samples were taken after 1, 2 and 4 hours stirring. The temperature in the incubator was monitored throughout the period and recorded at each sampling point. The temperature remained at 20° C throughout the stirring period. The test material content of the heptane solutions was determined by HPLC using an external standard procedure.
The concentration of the test material in solution does not change significantly between 30 minutes and 4 hours, therefore the solution can be considered to be saturated. The mean solubility is calculated from the 7 values obtained (outlier excluded). The %RSD of the determinations was calculated at 1.01 %, thus demonstrating acceptable precision.
Under the conditions of the study the solubility of the test material in Heptane was determined to be 7.69 g/L at 20 °C.
Leeyen (1994b)
The solubility of the test material in nine organic solvents was assessed according to OECD Test Guideline 105 and EU Method A.6. and in compliance with GLP. The study was awarded a reliability score of 2 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
For each solvent, a preliminary test was carried out as a range finding test prior to performance of the main study (using either the flask or column elution method). During the preliminary test, the solubility of the test material in acetone, ethylacetate, methanol and 2-propanol was determined to be > 1 000 g/L and therefore it was not necessary to perform the main study for these solvents. Because the solubility of the test material in acetonitrile and dichloromethane was also very high (>750 g/L), the main study was also not carried out for these solvents.
The flask method was used for subsequent performance of the main study. For the determination of the solubility in n-heptane, 1-octanol and p-xylene, amounts of 1.03 - 1.12 g, 10.02 - 10.23 g, and 10.00 - 10.09 g of the test material, respectively, were weighed into each of three Erlenmeyer flasks. To each flask, 10 mL (for n-heptane 25 mL) organic solvent was added. The flasks were securely closed and placed on a magnetic stirring device in a thermostatically controlled water-bath at 30 °C. The content of each flask was stirred for 24, 48 or 72 hours. After the stirring periods, the flasks were removed from the water-bath and re-equilibrated for 24 hours at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C, with occasional agitation. The concentration of the test material was determined using HPLC.
Under the conditions of the study the solubility of the test material in acetone, ethylacetate, methanol and 2-propanol was estimated to be > 1 000 g/L at room temperature. The solubility of the test material in acetonitrile and dichloromethane was determined to be 758 g/L and 968 g/L at room temperature. The solubility of the test material in n-heptane, 1-octanol and p-xylene was determined to be 8.65 g/L, 710 g/L and 314 g/L at 20.0 ± 1.0 °C, using the flask method.
Supporting Study: Türk (1994)
The solubility of the test material in organic solvents was assessed according to EPA Guideline, Subdivision D, 63 - 8 and in compliance with GLP. The study was awarded a reliability score of 2 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
The concentrations of the saturated solutions were measured by quantitative thin layer chromatography.
A weighed amount of the test material was filled into a 4 mL flask. 0.5 mL of an organic solvent was added. In a tempered water bath the mixture was magnetically stirred at 20 °C for 2 hours. Solids remained in all the samples. The samples remained for an additional hour in the water bath without stirring. The saturated solutions were separated (from the remaining solids) by filtering through an Anotop-filter. An aliquot of 0.5 mL of the filtrates was transferred into measuring flasks respectively. The weight of the aliquots were determined before filling up to the mark with diisopropylether. If necessary further dilutions were made. For quantification by TLC, calibration solutions were prepared and applied to every TLC-plate used. A weighed amount of about 53 mg of the test material was dissolved in a 50 mL measuring flask with diisopropylether.
Under the conditions of the study the test material is readily soluble in most of the tested solvents, with the exception of n-heptane in which it is slightly soluble, and olive oil in which it is moderately soluble.
