- Boiling pt.:
- >= 175.5 - <= 176 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 763 mm Hg
- Conclusions:
- The boiling point of d-limonene is 175.5-176 °C at 763 mm Hg.
- Executive summary:
The boiling point of d-limonene is 175.5-176 °C at 763 mm Hg.
The reliability of this result has been considered as 2 (reliable with restrictions) because ‘The Merck Index’ is cited as a reference book containing peer reviewed data in the REACH Guidance Document R.7a.
- Endpoint:
- boiling point
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- supporting study
- Justification for type of information:
- D-Limonene is one of the two isomers of dipentene. Therefore, data on dipentene can be used for extrapolation to d-limonene. See read-across justification document in section 13.
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across source
