✦ Synopsis

The solubilities of a series of chemically related barbiturates, including some medically useful ones as well as phenobarbital, were determined a t 25' in the straight-chain alcohols methanol through butanol. The solubility values are given in both milligrams per milliliter and the mole fraction notation. The solubility in methanol was the highest and decreased nonlinearly for the solubility in 1-butanol. In several cases, mole fraction solubility gave shouldering or peaking as a function of the carbon number of the solvent. This series of barbiturates was broken down into two subsets of straight-chain and branched alkyl barbiturates, and solubility ratios in these subsets were considered.
