Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The analytical method was used. The two phase mixture was periodically shaken in a thermostated burette with water jacket for several hours. The phases were removed for analysis after separation. Methanol was determined by the Karl Fischer method. Water concentration in the hydrocarbon-rich phase was smaller then 0.01-0.02%.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Source not specified, pure grade; distilled; contained <0.01% of water; n(20°C)=1.3391.
   (2) Source not specified; used as received; b.p.=125.4°C, n(20°C)=1.3976.
   (3) Source not specified.

Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: Not reported.
   Temperature: Temp. ±0.5°C; soly. < ±1% (relative error of methanol concentration).
