Objective
To determine solubility of 3,4-(methylenedioxy)phenylacetic acid in different solvents, including chlorobenzene, chloroform, methanol, acetonitrile, ethanol, 1,2-dichloroethane, THF, toulene, dichloromethane, ethylbenzene, benzene, DMF, DMSO, and 1,4-dioxane.

Procedure
We filled half-dram vials with different solvents, then added the solute 3,4-(methylenedioxy)phenylacetic acid to each vial until the solution appeared to be saturated. Then we parafilmeed and vortexed the samples and heated them in a bath to make sure they were fully saturated. We cooled the samples to room temperature of about 23 deegrees Celcius and took NMRs, using SAMS to determine solubility at room temperature.

Results
Vials1 Vials2 Vials3 (all 3 pictures were taken immediately after the vials were taken out of the bath) [|Spreadsheet]  [|SAMS Spreadsheet]**[Many of the spectra don't match the stated solvent and solute - identify which are correct and fix the ranges JCB]**
 * [|Spreadsheet ONSCExp129-1]** most samples appear to be contaminated, with some something else (possibly glycol-water), these samples are colored orange and marked DONOTUSE- **Khalid**

Discussion
The concentration from the methanol spectra matches closely to the concentration obtained from Exp132.

Conclusion

 * [You have the NMRs - is there a reason that you can't use at least some of the numbers? JCB]** I think the number obtained from the NMRs I do have are usable.**[Identify which solubilities are valid (NMRs consistent with solute/solvent) and add to SolSum sheet JCB]**
