Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
differential scanning calorimetry
Melting / freezing pt.:
38 °C
Atm. press.:
1 013.3 hPa
Conclusions:
A melting point of 38°C was determined for 2-chloro-5-chloromethylpyridine.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to assess the melting point of 2 -chloro-5-chloromethylpyridine accronding to EU test method A.1 which is equivaled to OECD 102 by differential scanning calorimetry. The test item was heated up from ambient temperature to the final temperature (300 °C) at a constant heating rate (10 K/min) in a defined atmosphere (nitrogen). The quantity of heat absorbed or released was measured and recorded. Aluminium crucibles with a small hole were used as containers for the test item and as empty reference crucible. A melting point of 38°C was determined for 2 -chloro-5-chloromethylpyridine.
