Phthalic anhydride is slightly soluble in methanol. But beware! In this case, phthalic anhydride will actually react with its solvent. This is called estrification of the anhydride. Methanol will break the ring of Phthalic anhydride and make an ester.
C6H4(CO)2O + CH3OH --> C6H4(CO2H)(CO2CH3)
Similarly, you might THINK Phthalic anhydride is soluble in water, but it actually reacts with water to make phthalic acid.
If you want to make a true solution of phthalic anhydride, I would recommend acetone, or methylethyl ketone.

Is phthalic anhydride polar?
anhydride is polar acceptor
How do you convert phthalic anhydride reacting with urea to phthalimide?
to convert the phthalic anhydride in to phthalimide, it is heated with urea at the temp. of 160 c with out using any solvent. phthalic anhydride + urea = phthalimide +water+ carbondioxide
Is potassium nitrate soluble in methanol?
yes
Is ammonium sulfate is soluble in methanol?
maybe not
Anhydride with ethylene glycol versus phthalic anhydride with glycerol?
Anhydride with ethylene glycol forms an ester, while phthalic anhydride with glycerol forms a polyester. The reaction with ethylene glycol typically involves the formation of a monomeric ester, while the phthalic anhydride with glycerol reaction leads to the formation of a polymeric structure due to the presence of multiple reactive sites on glycerol.

What is the use of maleic anhydride in alkyd resin?
It use to reduce the part of phthalic anhydride
Is zinc soluble in methanol?
Yes, Zinc is soluble in Methanol and Glycerol
What is conditions of reaction between phthalic anhydride and resorcinol?
Zinc chloride and an acid must be present, preferably HCl
From ethanol and methanol which is more soluble in water?
Ethanol is more soluble in water than methanol because ethanol has a longer hydrocarbon chain which increases its ability to hydrogen bond with water molecules, making it more soluble. Methanol has a shorter hydrocarbon chain which reduces its ability to hydrogen bond with water molecules, decreasing its solubility.
Is methanol soluble with water cyclohexane and alcohol?
Yes, methanol miscible.
What has the author Walter Albert Lawrance written?
Walter Albert Lawrance has written: 'Friedel and Craft's reaction-some substituted phthalic anhydrides with toluene and aluminium chloride' -- subject(s): Chemical reactions 'The reaction of substituted phthalic anhydrides with aluminum chloride and benzene' -- subject(s): Benzene, Aluminum chloride, Phthalic anhydride
Is 3 Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone soluble in methanol?
Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone is not very soluble in methanol due to its non-polar nature and the methanol being more polar. However, small amounts may dissolve due to partial solubility.
Is sodium more soluble than methanol in water?
Yes, sodium is more soluble in water than methanol. Sodium is a metal that reacts violently with water, producing sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Methanol is a polar molecule that can form hydrogen bonds with water, but it is not as soluble as sodium.
What is para-phthalic acid?
Para-phthalic acid" is not a commonly recognized chemical compound or term. It seems like there might be a misunderstanding or a typographical error in the name you're referring to. If you have a different chemical or substance in mind, please provide the correct name, and I'd be happy to provide information about it
Is potassium nitrate soluble in methanol?
yes
