Decomposition

In both measurements, colour changes were observed from 158 °C. The sample turned from yellowish to dark brown.

The decomposition was not spontaneous and extended over a larger temperature range. No further decomposition was observed after the sample was removed from the apparatus at the beginning of decomposition.

Description of key information

Melting point: 126.4 °C at ca. 1013 hPa (OECD Guideline 102, capillary method)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
126.4 °C

Additional information

Decomposition was observed starting at temperature ≥ 158 °C

Atmospheric pressure not reported. Based on capillary method, ca. 1013 hPa can be assumed.
