Why phenobarbital soluble in organic solvent more than aqueous solvent?

The chemical structure of phenobarbital is:The aromatic ring and methyl group will be more favorable for organic solvent, while the NH in the ring and O attachments favor aqueous solvents.One gram is soluble in approximately 1000 ml of water, and 10 ml of alcohol. Compared to other barbiturates it has a lowlipid solubility. It is very soluble in water, soluble in alcohol, and freely solu­ble in propylene glycol. In other words, the question makes an incorrect assumption - phenobarbital is MORE soluble in aqueous solvents than in organic solvents.
