Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 103 (Boiling Point)
GLP compliance:

Remarks:
DSC 4000, Perkin Elmer with one-way aluminium crucibles with perforated lid. Usage and calibration following to the corresponding SOP 11400379 in the current edition
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Name 4,4-Dihydroxybenzophenone
Batch no. 20111104
Composition 4,4-Dihydroxybenzophenone
CAS No. 611-99-4
Purity ≥ 99.5% purity
Key result
Boiling pt.:
>= 293.91 - <= 353.53 °C
Remarks on result:
other: atmospheric pressure was not quoted in the report. For DSC analysis, the atmospherc pressure is not a critial parameter

In all performed runs the melting range was detected, which was already determined in Study 17112807N904. The determined melting range during this performances differed slightly according to the values of the melting point study, this is caused through device specific reasons.

In the first run the beginning of boiling event was visible, in the other runs the whole event could be detected.

All events are endotherms. As the first event is the melting range, the second event must be the boiling phase. The observations of the pre-test confirm this.

Conclusions:
The DSC trace for the determination of the boiling point of 4,4-Dihydroxybenzophenone showed a gradual peak rather than a sharp peak so the boiling range should be stated as: 293.91 °C (567.06 K) to 353.53 °C (626.68 K)
The main peak for the two full event determinations was at 318.0°C and 318.2°C. The average value is calculated to be 318.1°C.

Description of key information

The DSC trace for the determination of the boiling point of 4,4-Dihydroxybenzophenone showed a gradual peak rather than a sharp peak so the boiling range should be stated as: 293.91 °C (567.06 K) to 353.53 °C (626.68 K)

The main peak for the two full event determinations was at 318.0°C and 318.2°C. The average value is calculated to be 318.1°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
318.1 °C
