Derivative Type: Monohydrate
CAS Registry Number: 6101-32-2
Properties: Orthorhombic plates from water (very slow crystn can yield the dihydrate), becomes anhydr at around 100°. Dec without melting at ~288° (also reported as >360°). pK2 (25°): 3.23. Slowly sol in water: ~1% at 20°, 1.45% at 30°, 1.94% at 40° (w/w anhydr). Almost insol in ethanol, benzene, ether. Slightly sol in hot methanol.
