Components:
   (1) 2,2’-Oxybispropane (dipropyl ether); C6H14O; [108-20-3]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail
   (2) Acetonitrile; C2H3N; [75-05-8]  NIST Chemistry WebBook for detail

Original Measurements:
   Cornish, R.E.; Archibald, R.C.; Murphy, E.A.; Evans, H.M., Ind. Eng. Chem. 26, 397 (1934).

Variables:
   Temperature = 233 K

Prepared By:
   Valerii P. Sazonov

Experimental Remarks:

   The upper critical solution temperature (UCST) was reported as < –40 °C (< 233 K, compiler).

Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The synthetic method was used. Determinations were made in test tubes, which were heated and allowed to cool slowly in air. Thermometers were roughly calibrated.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Prepared from sodium cyanide and dimethyl sulfate; the crude product was distilled off and successively washed with solid sodium hydroxide and P2O5; carefully fractionated in a 6.09 m column; d(20 °C,4 °C)=0.782 15.
   (2) Source not specified; purified by fractionating in a 6.09 m column.

Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: Not reported.
   Temperature: Not reported.
