Good to hear your success with this :thumb_up:Your right in that xylene and acetylNMT boil at far distant temperatures, but as far as I know that doesnt technically negate the possibility of azeotropes. Though it almost certainly means if it does happen the acetylNMT will be a very minor component of the mix, certainly under 1% [and the mix will boil within a degree of the pure solvent].Nicotine boils at 247° and forms an azeotrope with water [its how you separate nicotine from all other tobacco alkaloids], I can think of numerous other examples of the lesser component in an azeotrope boiling 150-200° hotter than the carrier. AcetylNMT would be even farther than that, I wouldnt bet my house either way though In college we didnt go into depth on azeotropy, just basically 'it happens, here are the charts, this is why you cant distill goofy juice from denatured ethanol' can anyone recommend a text book on the dynamics of azeotropy, preferably something comprehensible to a normal lab rat rather than a chemical physicist?
