In
this paper, the solubility of 2-(diacetoxymethyl)-5-nitrofuran
in pure methanol, 1-propanol, ethyl acetate, N,N-dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, acetone,
1,4-dioxane, water, hexane, and toluene and also in (acetonitrile
+ tetrahydrofuran) binary mixtures with temperatures at T = (278.15–323.15) K at atmospheric pressure was first measured
by a gravimetric method. The experimental results reveal that the
solubility of 2-(diacetoxymethyl)-5-nitrofuran increases with the
increasing temperature in all solvents selected. The modified Apelblat
model and the Buchowski–Ksiazaczak λh model were used to correlate the experimental solubility in all
pure solvents. Solubility data of (acetonitrile + tetrahydrofuran)
binary solvent mixtures were fitted by the Jouyban–Acree model
and the combined nearly ideal binary solvent/Redlich–Kister
(CNIBS/R-K) model. All the models could be well applied; the modified
Apelblat model stood out to be more suitable with a higher accuracy
in pure solvent systems, and the combined CNIBS/R-K model provides
a superior correlation in the binary solvent systems. The properties
of the solute and the solvent were combined, and the Kamlet–Taft
linear solvation energy relationship (KAT-LSER) model was used to
investigate the solvation effect of 2-(diacetoxymethyl)-5-nitrofuran
in the dissolution process. According to the results, the solubility
of 2-(diacetoxymethyl)-5-nitrofuran mainly depends on the dipolarity
of the investigated solvents, and the proportion of its total solvent
effect is 34.3%. We also discussed the effect of the interaction between
solvents and solute on solubility. We hope that these experimental
data are helpful for technological research and drug purification
production.
