Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The analytical method was used. Liquid-liquid equilibrium was determined as described in Antosik.1 The equilibrium cell of about 50 mL capacity, equipped with a magnetic stirrer, was sealed in a water jacket, and circulating water from a thermostat ensured temperature constancy. The three-component mixture was stirred in the equilibrium cell for about 30 min, then the mixture was left for about 1 h for complete phase separation, and samples of about 0.2 mL of each of the two phases were withdrawn from the equilibrium cell through a silicone-rubber septum using a syringe for gas chromatography analyses.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Source not specified; purity 99.8 mass % by GLC; 0.025 mass % water by the Karl Fischer method.
   (2) Isolated from turpentine and purified by fractional distillation at sub-ambient pressure; purity above 99.9 mass % by GLC.
   (3) Isolated from turpentine and purified by fractional distillation at sub-ambient pressure; purity above 99.9 mass % by GLC.

Estimated Errors:

   Temperature: control to ± 0.02 K.
