Questions asked by users might not always be phrased in the clearest way.
Does isobutanol dissolve in acetonitrile? does isobutyl oleate dissolve in acetonitrile?
Accepted Answer
Isobutanol is likely to be miscible with acetonitrile due to their similar polarities. Acetonitrile is a polar aprotic solvent, while isobutanol is a polar protic alcohol. However, isobutyl oleate, a long-chain fatty acid ester, is nonpolar and would likely be immiscible with acetonitrile, as 'like dissolves like'.
