Conclusions:
The approximate solubility of DPX-X1179 was determined in acetone, ethyl acetate, methanol, dichloromethane, o-xylene, n-hexane, n-octanol and acetonitrile using the preliminary solubility test described in OECD Guideline 105. The preliminary test showed the solubility of DPX-X1179 in ethyl acetate, o-xylene, n-hexane and n-octanol to be <250 g/L, in methanol, dichloromethane and acetonitrile to be >1000 g/L and in acetone to be > 200 g/L at 20 ± 0.5°C. The actual solubility of DPX-X1179 was determined following the performance of the preliminary solubility test using either the shake flask method or the column elution method. The solubility of DPX-X1179 in the following solvents at 20 ± 0.5°C was determined to be: acetone: 794.54 ± 4.30 g/L; ethyl acetate: 199.91 ± 5.3 g/L; methanol: >1000 g/L; dichloromethane: >1000 g/L; o-xylene 7.09 ± 0.2 g/L; n-hexane: 0.00131 ± 1.3 x 10-4 g/L; n-octanol: 34.23 ± 0.4 g/L; acetonitrile: >1000 g/L.

Conclusions:
The solubility of methomyl was determined to be 77400 mg/L in ethyl acetate, 97.1 mg/L in n-heptane, 24000 mg/L in 1-octanol and 9580 mg/L in oxylene. Excess test substance was present in the test containers at each sample point for these four solvents. A minimum of three consecutive data points had concentrations within 5% of the average solubility for each solvent. The solubility of methomyl in acetone, acetonitrile, dichloromethane, dimethylformamide and methanol was determined to be greater than 250 grams of compound per kilogram of solvent. Definitive solubility values for these solvents were not determined; solubility was reported as > 250g/kg (European Union Commission Directive 91/414/EEC Annex IIA Point 2.7. as amended by Directive 94/37/EC, 22 July 1994).
Executive summary:

This study determined the solubility of methomyl (DPX-X1179) in organic solvents as per OECD guideline 105 and EEC guideline A.6. The solubility of methomyl was determined to be 7.74 x 104 mg/L in ethyl acetate, 9.71 x 101 mg/L in n-heptane, 2.40 x 104 mg/L in 1 -octanol and 9.58 x 103 mg/L in o-xylene. Excess test substance was present in the test containers at each sample point for these four solvents. A minimum of three consecutive data points had concentrations within 5% of the average solubility for each solvent. The solubility of methomyl in acetone, acetonitrile, dichloromethane, dimethylformamide and methanol was determined to be greater than 250 grams of compound per kilogram of solvent. Definitive solubility values for these solvents were not determined; solubility was reported as > 250g/kg (European Union Commission Directive 91/414/EEC Annex IIA Point 2.7. as amended by Directive 94/37/EC, 22 July 1994).
