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.
