Liquid−liquid equilibria (LLE) data are reported for 2-methoxyethanol + heptane, + methylcyclohexane,
or + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane and for 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethanol + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane and 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethanol + methylcyclohexane mixtures between 281.8 K and the upper critical solution
temperatures (UCSTs). The coexistence curves were determined visually. They have a rather horizontal
top and are skewed to the region of higher mole fractions of the alkoxyethanol, x
1, for systems with
2-methoxyethanol, and to the region of lower x
1 values for the mixtures including the other two
hydroxyethers. The (x
1, T) data were fitted to the equation T = T
c + k|y − y
c|
m
, where y = αx
1/{1 + x
1(α
− 1)} and y
c = αx
1c/{1 + x
1c(α − 1)}. T
c and x
1c are the coordinates of the critical points fitted together
with k, m, and α. Results are briefly discussed on the basis of the existence of inter- and intramolecular
H-bonds as well as of dipole interactions, which occur in solutions containing hydroxyethers.
