 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The solubility of (1) in (2) was determined by the synthetic method of Fuhner, ref 1. Glass tubes filled with 50-100 mL of (2) were frozen and then (1) was micropipetted. Next, the tubes were sealed and thermostatted for 6 hrs at 70°C and 72 hrs at 20°C. The solubility was followed visually. The samples were incremented at regular steps 0.005 g (1)/100 g (2). The mean value from 5-6 determinations was adopted.
The solubility of (2) in (1) was determined by gas chromatography. The LKhM-7a instrument equipped with a katharometer was employed.
