oops chromic, my bad, there is something in the merck about boiling points of different methanol water soln's. Anyways you can't get dry methanol by distillation.

You can get virtually dry MeOH by distillation. However, you require a very, very long column and a careful, slow distillation to properly separate it from water (400mm at the least)... and a very accurate thermometer.

Yeah, MeOH is miscible with DCM and with toluene and with DCM/toluene. And water is miscle with MeOH. But MeOH/DCM/Toluene/water will form two layers. One with mostly water, some DCM, some toluene.. the other with mostly DCM and toluene and some water.

Take some and add water and a drop of food coluring. Then add a fuck of a lot of salt (the plain kind) shake and let it settle you will ger 3 layers. You can figure it out from there...

Don't look at me I didn't do it!
