Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

An endothermic phenomenon was observed, indicating a decomposition:

- beginning of the peak: 96°C

- maximum temperature: 163.5°C

- end of the peak: 202°C

An exothermic phenomenon was also observed (high thermal risk):

- beginning of the peak: 204°C

- maximum temperature: 287°C

- end of the peak: 347°C

- enthalpy: 746 J/g

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Ethyl glyoxylate decomposes before boiling, from 96°C to 202°C (end of the peak).
Executive summary:

The boiling point of ethyl glyoxylate was measured by a Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) method.

Ethyl glyoxylate decomposes before boiling, from 96°C to 202°C (end of the peak).
