UNUSUAL SOLVENT PROPERTIES. The dipropionitriles are excellent solvents for most organic compounds other than aliphatic hydrocarbons with which they are immiscible. Their ability to act as selective solvents permits the separation of m a n y mixtures of compounds which are difficult or impossible to separate by other methods.
SELECTIVITY. The selectivity of the dipropionitriles in many separations is many -times that of known selective solvents. IV example, a single extraction separates benzene of better than 9 0 % purity from a mixture with heptane. T h e

ahilitv of these solvents to differentiate between minor variations in structure is demonstrated b y the separation of mono-methylaniline and dimethylaniline. T w o hundred theoretical plates would be required to effect separation by distillation while only a six-stage extraction is required to partition the mixture between heptane and β,β'-oxydipropionitrile.
SOLVENT RECOVERY. Extractive methods m a y also be used for solvent recovery. Among those developed for the recovery of /3,/3'-oxydipropionitrile from extract solutions is that of a hot water extraction based on the low solubility of
this compound in cold water a n d complete miscibility in hot water.
SUGGESTED USES. T h e data presented in our bulletin may suggest a use t o you in your separation problems. I t is suggested that their use be invest igated in t h e purification of hydrocarbons a n d the refining of tall oil, vegetable oils, a n d wood rosins.
AVAILABILITY. The dipropionitriles are available in trial lot quantities. Λ\ e suggest that our data and a sample" of β,β'-oxydipropionitrile be obtained for preliminary evaluation. We shall also be glad to supply samples of β,/3;- iminodi-propionitrile and β.β'- thiodipropionitrile.
