Properties of Fenchone

Optical activity Refractive index at 20°C. Specific gravity at 15.5 C. Aniline point (—) 

Solubility BPL is miscible at room temperature with most organic solvents such as ether, alcohol (reacts), benzene, acetone, and acetic acid. Solubility in water at 25 C is 37 per cent by volume, with moderately fast hydrolysis to hydroxypropionic (hydracrylic) acid.
