study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment

Remarks:

The study is well described and scientifically valid. The measurements were performed according to recognized international standard method.

Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

reference to same study

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

other: ASTM D2879 "Standard Test Method for Vapor Pressure-Temperature Relationship and Initial Decomposition Temperature of Liquids by Isoteniscope"

Deviations:

no

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Since the Boiling Point is the temperature at which the Vapor Pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure and the liquid changes into a vapor, a value of Boiling Point can be derived from simultaneous measurements of Vapour Pressure and Temperature.

GLP compliance:

no

Type of method:

other: isoteniscope

Boiling pt.:

343.07 K

Atm. press.:

1 013.25 hPa

Measurements of Vapour pressure are summarized below:

Temperature	Experimental Vapour pressure P
K	kPa
288.15	10,47
298.15	17,05
313.15	33,18
333.15	71,91
343.07	101,325

Since the Vapour Pressure of 2-[difluoro(methoxy)methyl]-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane equals the atmospherical pressure at the temperature of 343.07 K, this value can be take as temperature of Boiling Point.

Conclusions:

According to the reference, 2-[difluoro(methoxy)methyl]-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane has a boiling point of 343.07 K (69.92 °C) at the pressure of 1013.25 hPa.

Executive summary:

The study is focused on the experimental determination of Vapour Pressure for 50 hydrofluoroethers and on the calculation of the relevant Antoine Constants.

Under the study, the vapour pressure of 2-[difluoro(methoxy)methyl]-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane have been measured from pressure of less than 10.47 kPa to 101.325 kPa.

Since the Boiling Point is the temperature at which the Vapor Pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure, the value of Boiling Point can be derived from measurements of Vapour Pressure.

2-[difluoro(methoxy)methyl]-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane get the atmospheric pressure at the temperature of 343.07 K and therefore this value can be take as boiling point for the substance.

Additional information

Two publication are reported.

In the first one, the boiling point of 2-[difluoro(methoxy)methyl]-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane is reported to be 68.5 °C under atmospheric pressure. No details on method are given.

The second source is focused on the determination of the vapour pressure, the boiling point can be derived basing on the temperature at which the vapour pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure. The boiling point of 2-[difluoro(methoxy)methyl]-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane is derived to be 69.92 °C.

The two values are consistent and it can be concluded that the boiling point of 2-[difluoro(methoxy)methyl]-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane is in the range between 68.5 and 70 °C under atmospheric pressure.
