The Solubility Behavior of Organic Compounds

In any systematic method for the identification of organic compounds, both physical and chemical properties are utilized for locating the class, or, preferably, the homologous series to which the unknown belongs, and subsequently specific physical tests are applied to locate the individual within the series. Unfortunately for organic analysis, the study of the relationship between physical properties and molecular structure is still a relatively undeveloped field, certainly so when viewed from the standpoint of potential possibilities. [Pg.8]

In the present chapter, we shall discuss in an elementary manner the relation to molecular structure of only one physical property, that of solubility. This topic is chosen because it lies at the basis of the present scheme of analysis. The discussion is intended for the beginner the experienced analyst is able to utilize efficiently generalizations based upon other physical properties as well. [Pg.8]
