“…3-Methyl-2-nitrobenzoic acid (3-M-2-NBA), 3-methyl-4-nitrobenzoic acid (3-M-4-NBA), and 5-methyl-2-nitrobenzoic acid (5-M-2-NBA) are important intermediates of chemical organic compounds, which are widely used in pesticide, medicine, and other fields. − These three acids are isomers of aromatic carboxylic acids. Although these aromatic carboxylic acid isomers have the same functional group composition, literature studies have reported their different thermodynamic properties. , Of course, there are many reports on these three acids about the solid–liquid equilibrium (SLE). − He et al determined the solubility of 3-M-2-NBA, 3-M-4-NBA, and 5-M-2-NBA in methanol, ethanol, n -propanol, formic acid, acetic acid, propanoic acid, and water; Wu measured the solubility of 3-M-4-NBA in water, methanol, ethanol, n -propanol, n -butanol, and other solvents . Unfortunately, no one has systematically studied the changes of thermodynamic properties of these three isomeric aromatic acids in isomeric solvents, so the solubility of 3-M-2-NBA, 3-M-4-NBA, and 5-M-2-NBA in n -butanol, iso-butanol, tert-butanol, and sec-butanol would be studied at atmospheric pressure.…”
