The solubilities
of 2-oxindole in 12 pure organic solvents including
acetonitrile (MeCN), dichloromethane, 1,4-dioxane, ethyl acetate (EtOAc),
acetone, toluene, methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, tetrahydrofuran,
1-butanol, and 1-propanol were experimentally measured from (283.15
to 358.15) K at normal pressure p = 0.1 MPa by employing
the synthetic method. The measured solubilities of 2-oxindole in these
pure organic solvents were found to increase with the rise of temperature.
The experimental solubilities of 2-oxindole were correlated with several
thermodynamic models including the modified Apelblat equation, λh (Buchowski) equation, Wilson equation, and nonrandom two-liquid
equation. These data could be applied for the large-scale synthesis
of 2-oxindole with high purity.
