Abstract

The fifth paper2 of this series contained reports on methods for the separation of mesitylene and pseudocumene, the two hydrocarbons occurring in the trimethylbenzene fraction resulting from the methylation of xylene. The present paper reports a method'for separating durene (1, 2, 4, 5) and isodurene (1, 2, 3, 5), the two hydrocarbons present in the tetramethylbenzene fraction of the methylation mixture. The tetramethylbenzene fraction, ...
