Quantitative solubility data for 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene (1) in water (2) have been reported in the publications listed in Table 1. No data have been reported on the solubility of water in 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene.

The original data in both of these publications are compiled in the Data Sheets immediately following this Critical Evaluation.

The available data are summarized in Table 2. At 298K, the only temperature where comparison is possible, the data of Sutton and Calder (ref 1) and Sanemasa et al. (ref 2) are in reasonable agreement (Table 2) and their average may be considered as the Tentative solubility.

At other temperatures, only the data of Sanemasa et al. are available so no Critical Evaluation is possible. Nevertheless, it may be noted that for other hydrocarbons in water the data of Sanemasa et al. are normally reliable.
