Influence of Temperature on the Liquid-Liquid Equilibrium of the Ternary System Acetonitrile-2-Furyloxirane-Cyclohexane

2-Furyloxirane can be obtained by a low hydrated solid-liquid phase transfer process from furfural and a sulfonium salt in basic medium by using acetonitrile as a solvent.It is purified by extraction in a reactive medium with an extracting solvent, cyclohexane.Diagrams on solubility isotherms and tie-line data are given for the ternary system acetonitrile-2-furyloxirane-cyclohexane at 20-30 and 40 deg C.Under these conditions 2-furyloxirane extraction by cyclohexane appears not to depend on temperature.
