Abstract
The solubility of 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-tetralone in eleven alcohols (methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, 2-propanol, 2-butanol, 2-pentanol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol) was measured by using a laser technique with a temperature range from 283 K to 323 K, and at atmospheric pressure. For mono n-alcohols, the solubility is the lowest in methanol, increasing with the carbon chain of the alcohols. The results were correlated with a semi-empirical equation. The experimental solubility and correlation equation in this work can be used as essential data and models in the purification process of 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-tetralone.
