See here for the wiki article.

Explanation:

This is a reasonably large molecule, and the boiling point is similarly large. The link reports a boiling point of 218 ""^@C AT A PRESSURE of 1.5*mm*Hg. That is its vapour pressure at this temperature -=1.5*mm*Hg.

The normal boiling point, i.e. when its vapour pressure -= 760*mm*Hg (this after all is the definition of the "normal boiling point") would be very high, and it might not be obtainable without decomposition.

You satisfied with this?
