Separation of toluene from methyl isobutyl ketone by azeotropic distillation

TLDR
Toluene cannot be separated from methyl isobutyl ketone by conventional distillation or rectification because of the minimum boiling azeotrope as discussed by the authors, but Toluene can be readily separated using azeotropic distillation by using 1-butanol, 2-methoxyethanol and n-heptane.
Abstract
Toluene cannot be separated from methyl isobutyl ketone by conventional distillation or rectification because of the minimum boiling azeotrope. Toluene can be readily separated from methyl isobutyl ketone by using azeotropic distillation. Typical examples of effective agents are 1-butanol, 2-methoxyethanol and n-heptane.

Methods for preparing cinacalcet hydrochloride

TL;DR: In this article, a process for making cinacalcet hydrochloride is described, which includes a solution of free base of CCL in a solvent that is an alcohol or alkyl acetate, treating said solution with an amount of hydrochloric acid sufficient to convert said free base to said HCl salt, adding an anti-solvent to said treated solution in the amount sufficient to precipitate said HCL salt in the form of a solid, and isolating said precipitated solid thereby obtaining said CCL.

Separation of 1-decene from 2-octanone by azeotropic distillation

TL;DR: In this article, 1-decene is impossible to separate from 2-octanone by conventional distillation or rectification because the two compounds form a minimum boiling azeotrope.
