Abstract:
The system acetic acid-water-carbon disulphide divides into two immiscible layers when the water and acetic acid concentrations are about equal. One layer is almost pure carbon disulphide. Reaction products can be isolated from acetic acid via dilution with water and extraction with carbon disulphide.
