Measurement and Correlation of Solubility of Methyl 1,2,4-Triazole-3-carboxylate in 14 Pure Solvents from 278.15 to 318.15 K

The solubility of methyl 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate in 14 solvents (methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, isobutyl alcohol, acetonitrile, acetone, 2-pentanone, 3-pentanone, 4-methyl-2-pentanone, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, tetrahydrofuran) in the range from 278.15 to 318.15 K and at atmospheric pressure was measured in this study. The solubility of methyl 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate in all solvents increases with the increasing temperature. The solubility of methyl 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate in the solvents except for methanol and cyclohexanone does not show much difference, and is significantly smaller than that in methanol and cyclohexanone. The solubility of methyl 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate is not strictly related to polarity of the solvents as it is to the existence of other factors. The solubility of methyl 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate was correlated by the λh equation, modified Apelblat model, and Yaws model. The Yaws model is the best one among the three models with average relative deviation (ARD) and average root-mean-square deviation (104(RMSD)) of 1.18% and 0.364. The work in this study provides important solubility data for purification and synthesis of methyl 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate.
