Conclusions:

The Freezing point determination of pentyl 2-phenylacetate(CAS No.5137-52-0) was done using crushed ice and salt. No freezing was observed up to -8.09°C. Hence, the freezing point was inferred to be less than -8.09 °C at 969.2 hPa.

Executive summary:

The Freezing point determination of pentyl 2-phenylacetate(CAS No.5137-52-0) was done using crushed ice and salt. No freezing was observed up to -8.09°C. Hence, the freezing point was inferred to be less than -8.09 °C at 969.2 hPa.
