Water-miscible organics?
Water-miscible organics?
(OP)
Does anyone know of a literature source that provides a (reasonably) comprehensive list of organics that are miscible with water in all proportions? I know something along those lines could be generated by working one's way through the appropriate section in the CRC handbook, but that would be labor-intensive, and I don't see the point in re-inventing the wheel if someone else has already compiled such a list.
Getting that list is the key; I can winnow it down for my own purposes thereafter (e.g., eliminating compounds that are solids at ambient temperature).
Thanks in advance.

I guess you are hunting for solvents :)
I might be able to do a filtered search on fairly big database -- you would only need compounds miscible with water at ambient conditions? and results as CAS-NO/name ? Reply in this thread or by email if you still need the list.
The really powerful technique to apply for a compound identification problem like the one you are presenting would be "Computer Aided Molecular Design" (CAMD) -- using this technique you can set up a series of criteria (constraints) your "deam compounds" should match and have the computer assemble candidates from building blocks (most commonly UNIFAC fragments) - this will enable you to specifify miscibility, boiling point, melting point, size, solubility parameter, flash point and many others. I have worked for nearly 10 years in this technology - and while it cannot substitute a good database it can be a valuable addition.
Since no commercial postings are allowed I'd better not go into specific possibilities.
