[edit] pH
pH data should be included?
- pKa data should be included when we can find some... Physchim62 (talk) 10:03, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Where did the current two pKa values come from? I have 2.95 and 5.41 (from Analytical Chemistry, 7th ed., by Skoog et. al.) --Motrax 19:37, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] BP
The BP is in the text but not the column on the right. If somone could add it.
- The boiling point in the text was for phthalic anhydride, not phthalic acid: phthalic acid decomposes before it even melts, let alone boils. I have removed the data as it was obviously causing confusion, and can in any case be found in our article on the anhydride. Physchim62 (talk) 10:03, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Dimethyl phthalate
Why is Dimethyl phthalate redirected to this page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Christian75 (talk • contribs) 01:14, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
- I suppose because there is no article on methyl phthalate yet, but there were some links pointing to it. With the redirect, readers can at least deduce its structure from that of phthalic acid (assuming a very basic knowledge of organic nomenclature). If you want to write an article on methyl phthalate, you are welcome to replace the redirect. --Itub 09:12, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
I agree that there should be a page for dimethyl phthalate. After all, there's already a page for dimethyl terephthalate. I would do it, but I lack the knowledge as well as the motivation to do so. Deepfryer99 (talk) 19:13, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
