 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   A mixture of (1) and (2) was shaken at a specified temperature and then thermostatted for 48 h. The equilibrated phases were sampled and analyzed by flame-ionization glc using 3-m steel columns of 10% SE 30-on-Chromaton N (90°C) and 1.5 g + 10% SE 30-on-Chromaton N (120°C) for (1) and (2), respectively.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) source not specified; distilled and recrystallized; glc pure.
   (2) not specified.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: ± 5% (type of error not specified).
