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
From ethanol and methanol which is more soluble in water?
Methanol
Is 3 Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone soluble in methanol?
no
Is sodium more soluble than methanol in water?
No. Sodium compounds do have a limit to their solubility in water. Methanol is water soluble in all proportions.

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
