       GBL Extraction Solvent non-DCM     

Swim ran out of DCM, which all the writeups use. There is a quick access to TCE (trichloroethane), chloroform, and toluene though. Which solvent is best? And how would the solubilities compare to DCM (basically how would you alter the volume of solvent used to extract, swim doesn't want to use too much and spend all day distilling)
