Experimental Data:
(Notes on the Nomenclature)
Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
A mixture of (1) and (2) was rotated for twenty hours in a constant temperature bath at 25 °C. A sample (5-20 mL) of the aqueous phase was withdrawn and extracted with a measured volume of hexane (10-50 mL) by shaking in a glass-stoppered Erlenmeyer flask. Next, the absorbance of the hexane phase was measured against a hexane blank on the Beckman spectrophotometer.
Source and Purity of Materials:
(1) from the State University of Iowa; m.p. 120-121 °C.
(2) not specified
Estimated Errors:
Temperature: Not specified
