Chapter 14, Problem 102IAE
The two compounds whose structures are depicted here are isomers. When derived from petroplem, they always occur mixed together, meta-Xylene is used in aviation fuels and in the manufacture of days insecticides. The principal use of pare-xylene is in the manufacture of polyester resins and fibers (for example, Dacron). Comment on the effectiveness of fractional distillation as a method of separating these two xylenes. What other method(s) might be used to separate them?
