t/°CT/KChemical Name
60333Bicyclo[4.2.2]deca-2,4,7,9-tetraene; C10H10 ; [15677-13-1]
75348(1-Methylethenyl)cyclohexane; C9H16; [2157-18-8]
793621-Methyl-4-(1-methylethyl)cyclohexene; C10H18; [5502-88-5]
 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The synthetic method was used. Miscibility was determined in a glass-stoppered tube of 4 mm inside diameter. Equal volumes (0.1mL) of (1) and (2) were measured into the tube which was then strapped to a thermometer, warmed to 5 or 10 °C above the solubility temperature, mixed well by shaking, and then allowed to cool slowly, still shaking, in a bath of white oil.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Not specified.
   (2) (1-methylethenyl)cyclohexane synthesized in the Research Laboratory of Organic Chemistry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; other cycloalkenes were purest available commercial samples.
