Benzyl benzoate solubility in alcohols

Quince - 11-10-2005 at 14:59

Hi, I'm interested in benzyl benzoate solubility in alcohol, as I intend to make a fluid matching the refractive index of glass, asd benzyl benzoate is a bit higher than glass, whereas alcohol (sp. isopropyl) is a bit lower. The issue is whether I can dissolve enough benzyl benzoate in the alcohol to get the right refractive index. However, data I found just says soluble in alcohol, but no quantification. I'd like to know if it can be done before I place an order for the stuff. Any help?

In general, if one liquid is said to dissolve in another without any other data it means they mix in any proportions.
