AI Thread Summary
1,4-Dichlorobutane can be effectively separated from a mixture with toluene using distillation due to its significantly higher boiling point of 161-163 °C compared to toluene's boiling point of 110.6 °C. Distillation is a suitable method for this separation process. The discussion highlights the importance of boiling point differences in determining the best separation technique. Overall, distillation is recommended for isolating 1,4-dichlorobutane from toluene. This method leverages the distinct physical properties of the compounds involved.

Hello,

Can anyone help me with the chemical reactions of 1,4 dichloro butane. I want to separate 1,4 dichlobutane from a mixture of Toluene and 1,4 dichloro butane.

According to sources off the web, the boiling points are:

Toiuene 110.6 °C
1,4 dicholorobutane 161-163 °C

I think this would be a good canidate for distillation
