All of the above materials are Monsanto chemicals which can be of value in certain distillation problems. These materials are high boiling solvents pos^ssing good heat stability. The A ROC 1.0RS (a series of chlorinated polyphcnyls) are especially noted for their chemical inertness. The other chemicals may also <erve as inert solvents. Consequently, these materials all find use as distillation aids where the lower boiling material is subject to decomposition from localized overheating, and in ca<cs where distillation residues arc resinous or solid materials which are difficult to clean out of the still pot, The Monsanto chemicals listed also find considerable application as inert media for map.'' ch^mma! sriwv><
An example.of the value of such distillation aids is a case where a product distilling at about 78C. at 40 mm. Hg. was separated without fractionation from AROCLOR 1242 which, at the same pressure, boils at 210'C. Another product boiling at ICO-C. at 2 mm, Hg. required only moderate ftaclionatior, to separate it from A ROCLOR 1 242 boiling at 13SC. (at 2 mm. Hg.).
Which material to use in a given situation can be determined from the table of properties which appears on the next page. When reduced pressures are involved, further data may be obtained upon request.
AROCLOR products 1242, 1248, 1254 and 1260 are liquids with progressively in creasing boiling points. These liquids act t$> a stable heel in the still and allow ali of the desired end product to be recovered. In cases where the distillation residue normally tends to polymerize into gummy materials or to decompose into solids, th liquid AROCLOR compounds can be used to keep the residue as a free-flowing fluid for easier removal. Also, by allowing better heat transfer in the fluid, excessive decomposition and product loss can be minimized.

In addition to the liquid A ROCLOR products. Monsanto offers A ROC LOR 5460, a resinous solid which has been used to pla-iicize solid still reMclues to facilitate re moval. 7'his resin cannot be recovered and is discarded with the residue. From 25% to 30% of A ROCLOR 5460, based on total residue weight, will satisfactorily plas ticize most such residues.
When used as distillation aids, the liquid A ROCLOR compounds can be reused several times and either discarded or distilled to restore their original refined state.
Used as stable solvents for reactions conducted in an inert liquid phase, the liquid A ROCLOR compounds perform very well. Mere again, the liquids can usually be used several times before discarding or re-purifying.
The other chemicals listed are included to offer a wider choice of boiling points both at normal and at reduced pressures. The table below will help to choose the correct compound for your reaction or distillation situation. Your Monsanto representative will be glad to discuss specific problems and to provide or obtain other data needed.

PHF.NYLCYCLOHEXANE
(Cycloltexylbenicne)
and BICYCLOHEXYL (Dicyelohexyl)
yer'-ifrf-s
Phcnylcyclohcxane and bicyclohexyl are high boiling, col irlcss, oily liquids, free from objectionable odor and relatively free from toxicity.
Structurally, phcnylcyclohcxanc is composed of one aromatic six membered carbon ring and one aliphatic (hydrogenated) six membered carbon ring.
Bicyclohexyl is composed of two aliphatic six membered carbon rings (both
saturated with hydrogen).
.
Both products are suggested for use as high boiling solvents and compatibiliting agents and penetrating agents.
Interesting derivatives can be made from phenylcyclohexanc by sulfonation, nitration, halogenation and condensation with reactive chemical agents.
