Investigation upon the solubility of monobenzone in aqueous co-solvent mixtures of isopropanol, n-propanol, ethylene glycol (EG) and ethanol was performed via a saturation shake-flask technique at temperatures from 283.15 K to 328.15 K under pressure of p = 101.2 kPa. Exptl. solubility magnitude presented pos. dependence upon the mass fraction of each co-solvent and temperature The greatest solubility value on the mole fraction scale was observed in the neat co-solvents. The equilibrated solids with corresponding co-solvent mixtures were characterized through an X-ray power diffraction (XRD) technique, demonstrating the absence of polymorphic transformation or solvate formation. The Jouyban-Acree model was adopted to math. describe the monobenzone solubility data. The maximum magnitudes of RAD and RMSD were 3.17 × 10-2 and 7.64 × 10-4, resp. The local mole fractions of isopropanol (n-propanol, EG or ethanol) and water adjacent monobenzone were quant. studied by the Inverse Kirkwood-Buff integrals method. The parameters of preferential solvation for the isopropanol (n-propanol, EG or ethanol) were pos. in the isopropanol (n-propanol, EG or ethanol) mixtures in intermediate and alc.-rich compositions, indicating that monobenzone was preferentially solvated by the isopropanol (n-propanol, EG or ethanol). Monobenzone mainly acted as a Lewis acid which interacted with proton-acceptor functional group of the alcs. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 4-Benzyloxyphenol (cas: 103-16-2Reference of 103-16-2).
4-Benzyloxyphenol (cas: 103-16-2) belongs to ethers. Esters perform as high-grade solvents for a broad array of plastics, plasticizers, resins, and lacquers, and are one of the largest classes of synthetic lubricants on the commercial market. Polyesters are important plastics, with monomers linked by ester moieties. Esters are more polar than ethers but less polar than alcohols. They participate in hydrogen bonds as hydrogen-bond acceptors, but cannot act as hydrogen-bond donors, unlike their parent alcohols. This ability to participate in hydrogen bonding confers some water-solubility.Reference of 103-16-2
