Glass Ball as Bullet Solubility System: Acetonitrile with Unsaturated 1-Alcohols
Components:
   (1) Unsaturated 1-alcohols; C18H34O and C18H36O; []  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Acetonitrile; C2H3N; [75-05-8]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
Original Measurements:
   Schmid, H.H.O.; Mangold, H.K.; Lundberg, W.O., Microchem. J. 9, 134 (1965).

 Variables:
   Temperature = 304 K and 319 K

 Prepared By:
   Valerii P. Sazonov

 Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
  
Upper critical solution temperatures of the systems acetonitrile (1) + unsaturated 1-alcohol (2)
t/°CT/KChemical Name
30.5303.71-Octadecadienol; C18H34O; [506-43-4]
46.0319.21-Octadecenol; C18H36O; [143-28-2]
 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The synthetic method was used. A Reichert microscope, type RCH, equipped with a heating stage was used as described elsewhere.1 The disappearance and reappearance of the interface between (1) and (2) could be observed without difficulty.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Baker Chemical Co.; reagent, No. 9011; n(20 °C, D) = 1.3445, d(20 °C, 4 °C) = 0.780.
   (2) Obtained by reduction of the respective a-chloroketones with lithium aluminum hydride; purified by gas-liquid partition and thin-layer adsorption chromatography.

 Estimated Errors:

   Temperature: ± 0.5 K.
