Determination of the Abraham model solute descriptors for 3,5-dinitro-2-methylbenzoic acid from measured solubility data in organic solvents

Abstract

Experimental solubilities are reported for 3,5-dinitro-2-methylbenzoic acid dissolved in 14 alcohol and 5 alkyl acetate solvents at 298.15 K. The measured solubility data were mathematically correlated with the Abraham solvation parameter model. The solute descriptors that were calculated for 3,5-dinitro-2-methylbenzoic acid describe the experimental molar solubility data to within an overall average standard deviation of 0.081 log units.
