Abstract
Laser-induced damage threshold of polycitral films was measured using a dye Q-switched Nd glass laser emitting
25-ns pulses at 1062 nm. It showed neither the behavior exhibited by conventional dielec. films nor that by
polymer films. However, the present observations established the good optical characteristics of these films with a
high damage threshold and their usefulness as optical coatings in laser systems.

Abstract
The title compns. are prepd. by mixing high-mol. wt. unsatd. polyoxyethylenes with reducing agents (e.g.
autoxidizable aldehydes, unsatd. phenols) and treating the mixt. with O or air at 55. Exposing a mixt. of BzH 1,
triethylene glycol 3, and polyethylene glycol ester with castor oil 2 parts and a disinfectant to air, optionally in the
presence of H2O, gave a compn. which could be used as a disinfectant, bactericide, or deodorant.

Abstract
RnSi(OH)4-n compns. (R = C1-6 alkyl, alkenyl, alkoxy, cycloalkyl, etc., n = 0-3) are stabilized with C6-17
aldehyde, ester, ketone, and/or C7-17 arom. acid. The compns. are useful as cosmetic lotions. Thus, an aq. soln.
of MeSi(ONa)3 was neutralized with H-type cation-exchanger resins at pH 6.5 and treated with PhCO2Me to give a
soln. of 1% MeSi(OH)3 and 1% PhCO2Me of pH 6.5, which stayed clear after 2 wk, vs. a cloudy soln. resulting
from silanol polymn. after 1 day without PhCO2Me.

Abstract
A photopolymerizable compn. for dental uses comprises a polymerizable monomer such as a methacrylate ester and
an initiator capable of polymg. the monomer upon exposure to visible light and which cures at a high rate to a
sufficient depth, that hardly discolors and has good stability. The initiator consists of at least 1 photosensitizer such
as a diketone A(CO)2A (A = C1-20 aliph. hydrocarbon or A2 = cyclic structure) and quinone I-VI (A' = C1-20 aliph.
hydrocarbon or 2-4 H), at least 1 accelerator such as an aldehyde B(CHO)n (B = C1-20 (un)satd. aliph. or arom.
hydrocarbon; n = 1-3), and an org. peroxide. thus, a monomer liq. was prepd. from bis-GMA-triethyleneglycol
dimethacrylate-neopentylglycol copolymer [99294-07-2] (70, 15, and 15 parts by wt., resp.) 239.8, and to this were

Abstract
The electrochem. behavior of 9- unsatd. aldehydes was investigated by d.c. polarog., a vibrating-dropping Hg
electrode, controlled-potential electrolysis, and cyclic voltammetry. Compds. having alkyl substituents exhibited a
single polarog. wave. Acrolein and sorbaldehyde had multiple waves, the most pos. of which, like the waves of the
alkyl compds., resulted from redn. via a 1-electron 1-proton process. The 2nd waves of acrolein and sorbaldehyde
came from the 1-electron redn. of the product formed by hydration of the - double bond. Electrolysis products
of several compds. were isolated and examd. by ir and mass spectroscopy and by gas and thin-layer
chromatography. The free radicals formed by these electrochem. processes initiated head-to-tail polymerization of
the aldehydes.

the radiolyzed samples. No citronellol was detected in the radiolysis of citronellal and no cyclocitral was found in
the citral. The G-M values for 0.1-0.2% solns. in oxygenated 0.8N HOAc soln. were 4.8 for citral and 6.5 for

radiolyzed solns.; no other org. material was extd. with CHCl3. The smaller G-M values for the unsatd. aldehydes
suggest that the energy distributed along the chain can be dissipated through the double bonds. Citral and
citronellal in aq. HOAc were attacked readily by radicals formed from water. The aldehydes in essential oils are
polymd. by radiolysis which should not alter the flavor value of these oils.

columns. The acid-catalyzed decompn. of tertiary alcs. on the polyester columns is retarded by making the
columns slightly alk. by treatment with KOH in aq. alc. The polyester columns exhibit high solubilities for

frutescens var. crispa f. viridis was found in Taiwan and named P. naginataketoniferum. On steam distn. it gave
0.4% essential oil, the constituents of which were ( - )-limonene 2.4, elsholtzia ketone (I) 48.0, naginata ketone (II)
36.7, -caryophyllene 8.6%, and small amts. of dipentene and acids. Since catalytic hydrogenation of II gave I, II
is 1-(-methyl--furoyl)2-methyl-1-propene. The taxonomic relations between various spp. of Perilla were
discussed from the possible routes by which the biosynthesis of the main constituents in the oil might be brought

Abstract
In the reaction of diene hydrocarbons with halogen derivs. in the presence of Sn, Ti, Zn, or Fe chloride to form
telomers of the compn. R(CnH2n-2)xCl, 1,2 and 1,4 products are formed, the structure of which can best be detd.
from their infrared spectra. Such structures can be derived from frequencies 1635, 1660, and 1680 cm.-1,
corresponding to valence vibrations of groups CH:CH2, CH:CH, and C:CH2; the presence of deformation bands;
and the presence of the band for :C-H at 3030 cm.-1 and its harmonic at 6100 cm.-1 In the telomerization of 2-
chloro-3-pentene with isoprene, piperylene, and chloroprene, 1,4 products are formed to 85-90%; the bands of
CH:CH are strong, and the vinyl bands are absent. Infrared spectra permitted analysis of the mixt. obtained from
the reaction of isoprene with its hydrochloride to geranyl, linalyl, and terpenyl chloride. Spectroscopic analysis
also indicated that the synthetic citral is not identical with the natural product.

Abstract
It has been suggested that the pressure coeff. of the rate consts. of some reactions may be influenced by the
formation of inter or intramol. conformations prior to reaction. This is examd. theoretically, and the relevant exptl.
evidence is discussed. No examples of an effect in which the conformations are at equil. are known with certainty,
but the effect of pressure on termination in the polymerization of styrene appears to be an example of such an effect
when the conformations are not at equil. The pressure coeff. of the rate const. for the isomerization of citraldehyde
to 3,8-carvomenthenediol is not consistent with a unimol. slow step (Price and Dickman, C.A. 42, 2849a) or with a
conformational effect (Harris and Weale, C.A. 50, 9838h); but it is consistent with a bimol. or a trimol. slow step.
The pressure coeffs. of rate consts. may be very useful in detg. the molecularity of some reactions.

RO2CNHCMe:CH2, b2 60, nD28 1.5398, d30 2.017. VIII and CH2:CHCOCl in C6H6 yielded 23% (CH2:

added at a rate of 2 g./min. to 245 g. H2NCH2CH2OH in 712 g. pyridine at -15 to -10, the mixt. poured into cold

b3 151-2, nD28 1.4630, d28 1.142. COCl2 passed into 202 g. III at 50-75 during 4 hrs., and the solid product
filtered off, dissolved in hot EtOH, and cooled gave 125 g. (55%) CO(NHCO2R)2, m. 70. XV gave a colorless,
transparent, insol., and infusible polymer having a Rockwell M hardness of 98, which was obtained by heating the
monomer (which may exist as a dimer or trimer) in an oven 20 hrs. at 55 in the presence of 2.5% Bz2O2. A
slightly modified A.S.T.M. test method showed the polymer to be insol. in Me2CO, 95% EtOH, gasoline, CCl4,
PhMe, and EtOAc; it was also insol. in 30% H2SO4 and 10% aq. NaOH, HCl, and HNO3; it was attacked, however,
strongly by concd. HNO3 and H2SO4. Polymeric XV showed the following phys. properties: sp. gr. of monomer
1.175, sp. gr. of the polymer 1.31, sp. gr. change during cure 15.20%, Bz2O2 concn. 2.5%, Rockwell M hardness 95,
tensile, 5000 lb./sq.
in., modulus of elasticity 240,000 lb./sq. in., modulus of rupture 10,000, abrasion resistance 6.5, dielec. const. 2.317;
sp. resistivity 2.25 1015 ohm cm., dissipation factor 2.229%. A polymeric XV having a Rockwell M hardness of
90 showed the following elec. properties: dielec. const. 2.663; sp. resistivity 2.61 1015 ohm cm., dissipation factor
1.410%. The other monoallyl esters formed thermoplastic polymers, whereas the diallyl esters formed transparent
polymers of the insol. and infusible type with Rockwell M hardness varying from 80 to 105. The monomers were
polymerized at or above their m. ps. The transparent resins having Rockwell hardness values of 75 or more were
glasslike in nature. The polymer hardness was found to increase until a max. degree of polymerization was
reached. Too high a temp. or too high a catalyst concn. (Bz2O2 or Me3COOH) tended to cause polymer
discoloration and cracking. The conversions to polymers were practically quantitative since the monomer volatility
decreased rapidly as the polymerization progressed. The monomers IV, XI, XII, VI, VIa, XII, and XIV failed to
polymerize when heated for several hrs. with peroxide catalysts. Most of the I will undergo copolymerization with
other monomers to give a modification of polymer properties. Some I have been particularly useful as cross-
linking agents and a no. of copolymers have been prepd.

Abstract
Acrolein and methacrolein produced by catalytic oxidation of propene and isobutene, resp., are recovered by distn.
at 200-400 mm. and a pH of 5-8. Use of reduced pressure minimizes the formation of undesired polymers during
the distn. By introducing a small amt. (5% of the amt. equiv. to the theoretical O requirements) of hydroquinone to
the still-head, polymerization can be practically eliminated.

Abstract
cf. Sadgopal and Kuldip Bhatia, C.A. 47, 6095a. The essential oil distd. from the rootstocks was a slightly
yellowish, slightly viscous liquid with a pleasant odor reminiscent of that of the essence of coriander. Its analytical
consts. were d15 0.8935, []D -68', nD 1.4719, acid no 0.4, ester no. 1.4, carbonyl no. 11.1 (in the cold), 22.4
(warm), ester no. after formylation in the cold 241.3, free alc. content expressed as linalo.ovrddot.ol 75.3%. Its
soly. was, in 65% alc.: 4 vol. with pptn. of paraffins, in 80% alc.: in all proportions before pptn. of paraffins, in 90%
alc.: in all proportions without cloudiness. The oil (100 g.) was fractionated in a Widmer column under a 10-mm.
vacuum. The following fractions were obtained: I 21, 1.5 g.; II 84-86, 48.5 g., d10 0.868, nD 1.4669, []D -
1430'; III 86-89, 13.6g.,d100.869, nD 1.4702, []D -1312'; IV 101-6, 6 g., d10 0.907, nD 1.4791, []D -019'; V

residue 9.5 g. Fractions II and III were linalo.ovrddot.ol, characterized as the phenylurethan, m. 65, and the
naphthylurethan, m. 53, and by the formation of citral (semicarbazone m. 71) by chromic oxidation. Fraction II
contained no esters; fraction III contained only 2.3% expressed as linalyl acetate. A small quantity of linalyl acetate
was found after several refractionations of III and IV. The alc. was characterized as above and, in solns. from the
sapon., acetic acid was identified by the formation of its p-bromophenacyl ester, m. 85. During the purification of
linalo.ovrddot.ol, -terpineol was isolated in the alcs. at the end of the fractionation. It was characterized by the
phenylurethan, m. 111, and its naphthylurethan, m. 149. All m.ps. were by mixed m.-p. detns. with a Maquenne
block. Linalo.ovrddot.ol content was detd. by formylation (in the presence of pyridine). The essence contained
about 60% l-linalo.ovrddot.ol and traces of linalyl acetate and -terpineol.
In the work referred to above, only 40% of linalo.ovrddot.ol was found; this is explained as the result of distn. of
the oil at normal atm. pressure, which caused polymerization, and by the use of an analytical method not considered
suitable for the detn. of tertiary alcs.

Abstract
cf. C.A. 44, 1452g, 5347g. Thiosemicarbazones of many aldehydes and ketones have been prepd. and converted to
heterocyclic derivs., hydrazothiazolinones (I), by the action of -halo acids (ClCH2CO2H was used for the present
work). To 5.7 g. (0.05 mole) C6H13CHO in 75 cc. alc. at 95 was added 4.55 g. (0.05 mole) H2NCSNHNH2 and
then 0.5 cc. AcOH, the mixt. boiled 1 hr., filtered, the filtrate evapd., the residue crystd. by stirring, taken up in
C6H6, and C6H6 contg. a little petr. ether added, giving heptanal semicarbazone (II), m. 78-9. To 2 g. II in 50 cc.
alc. at 95 was added 2 g. NaOAc and 2 g. ClCH2CO2H, the mixt. boiled 1 hr., cooled, and the ppt. filtered, washed
with alc. at 95 and H2O, and recrystd. from alc. (C6H6 was a common solvent for many others), giving colorless
crystals of 2-(heptylidenehydrazino)-4(5H)-thiazolone, m. 135-7 (I; R = Me(CH2)5CH). The reaction is very
general and the yields are high. HCH:NNHCSNH2, m. 155-6, failed to give a I, probably because of
polymerization. The reaction was applied to the following addnl. compds. (m.p. of thiosemicarbazone and
hydrazinothiazolone, resp., given): PhCH2CHO, 147-8, 158-60; PhCH:CHCHO, 95, about 240; citral, 107-8,

192-5; PhCOEt, 113-14, 145-6; PhCOCHMe2, 160-5, 240 (decompn.); PhCOPr, 92 (from the table), 122;

150-1, 293; 2-acetylthiophene, 134-5, 175-6; 2-acetyl-5-nitrothiophene, 152, 242. In addn., a compd. called
isobutyrophenone gave a semicarbazone, m.
121-2, and thus is distinct from the above isopropyl phenyl ketone. The thiazolonylhydrazone of p-iso-
PrC6H4CHO m. 199. If the ring N in I bore a substituent, both double bonds would have to be exocyclic; in order
to test this point and the correctness of formula I, 4-substituted thiosemicarbazides were used. To 2 g.
NH2NHCSNHMe and 3.5 g. NaOAc in 40 cc. alc. at 95 was added 2.5 g. ClCH2CO2H, the soln. boiled 40 min.,
and the ppt. filtered, washed with alc. at 95 and cold H2O, giving 1-methylimino-2,3-diaza-6-thiacyclohexan-4-
one, m. 284 (III; R = Me). Similarly NH2NHCSNHEt gave the 2-ethylimino analog (III; R = Et), m. about 230.
Thus when the double bond can not be in the ring the reaction takes a new course and yields a new heterocyclic ring
system. Tests given for distinguishing between thiosemicarbazones and I include Fe(ClO4)3 (I gives a color).
Iodine in alc. gives a blood-red color with I, and Pb acetate desulfurizes some semicarbazones. Solubilities for the
new compds. are given.

Abstract
cf. C.A. 3, 1908. The oil consisted of 66% cineol (I), 10% d-fenchone (II), and about 6% citral (III). The oil was

steam distillate was extd. with CCl4, dried, solvent removed, and fractionated into 3 portions. Fraction 1 was very
ordorous, b. 178, absorbed Br, and gave no reaction with NOCl, Fehling soln., ammoniacal AgNO3, or

cryst. deriv. with resorcinol, m. 87-90 after two crystns., which again liberated I on warming with aq. NaOH.
Fraction 2 was redistd., b30 91 and 192 at atm. pressure. Analysis indicated the formula C10H16O. This
fraction did not reduce Fehling soln. or ammoniacal AgNO3 and had no characteristic OH groups. It formed an

Steam distn. of the leaves of the tree Aegle marmelos (family, Rutaceae) gave an essential oil in 0.6% yield, d26

17 ml. (21%), b130 104-30, b. 205-8; and (III) 7 ml. (9%), b130 130-60, b. above 210 (polymerization).

The aq. resorcinol soln. with alkali gave cineole, b. 176, which formed a semisolid mass with H3PO4, and yielded
a characteristic yellowish green cryst. addn. compd. with iodol (tetraiodopyrrole) (cf. Bertram and Walbaumm, Arch.

the bisulfite addn. compd. of citronellal; semicarbazone, crystd. from alc., m. 84 (citronellal semicarbazone, m.
86). Fraction III also gave a bisulfite addn. compd. and a semicarbazone, m. 163; it consisted of citral (citral

Abstract
cf. C. A. 37, 2372.4. In the following synthesis citral (I) was chosen as the most promising starting material for the
synthesis of any substance contg. 20 C atoms with a regular sequence of "isoprene" units. An ether of
(CH2)3(OH)2 was required which could be produced in good yield, would not be readily cleaved by PBr3 or PCl3
or when the Grignard reagent is formed and yet could be cleaved fairly readily later in the synthesis. The Me, Et
and PhCH2 monoethers result in 38, 64 and 73% yields; the Et ether was chosen because the yield of the 3 bromides
were 27, 70 and 34% (3-benzyloxypropyl bromide, b8 130-2) and of EtO(CH2)3Cl was 67%. CH2:CHAc did not
react well with laurylmagnesium bromide (II) because of polymerization but the reaction product with HCl
(ClCH2CH2Ac (III)), prepd. in 67% yield at 0, was satisfactory. It was necessary to use carefully purified I and to
purify the pseudoionone (IV) through the NaHSO3 compd., the yield of IV being about 45% (based upon I).
Reaction of 96 g. IV and 100 g. EtO(CH2)3Br in 375 cc. ether with 15.2 g. Mg, with final heating of the product at
90-5 for 30 min., gives 52% of the 4,8,12-trimethyl-3,5,7,11-tridecatetraen-1-ol Et ether, Me2C:CHCH2CH2CMe:
CHCH:CHCMe:CHCH2CH2OEt (V), lemon-yellow, b3 163-5, n25D 1.5242; it forms a sticky, glassy solid on
exposure to air. The Me ether (53.5%) b3 150-60 and the benzyl ether (49%) b3 210-20. Br(CH2)3OAc could
not replace Br(CH2)3OEt in the above reaction. Catalytic reduction of V with Raney Ni at 125 and 2000 lb. H
pressure (3 mols. of H are rapidly adsorbed (1 hr.) and the reduction is completed by heating at 125 for 1 hr. after
apparent absorption of H has ceased) gives 82% of 4,8,12-trimethyl-1-tridecanol Et ether (VI), b3 138-40, n25D
1.4370. Cleavage of VI to 1-bromo-4,8,12-trimethyltridecane (VII), b3 138-40, n25D 1.4598, was very slow and
incomplete when carried out in open vessels; when dry HBr was passed through VI at 135 for 6 hrs. 27% cleavage
occurred; action of 48% HBr was much slower; addn.
of a great excess of AcOH accelerated the reaction but 12 hrs. at 115 were required for 85% cleavage; when the
cleavage was carried out under pressure, in AcOH contg. 3 mol. of dry HBr per mol. VI, the reaction was complete
(96%) in 6 hrs. at 150. The Me ether could be cleaved (95%) in 4 hrs. at 180 and the benzyl ether in 5 hrs. in
refluxing AcOH-HBr (these ethers were not characterized). The Grignard reagent from 41 g. VII and 20 cc. AcH in
ether give 70% of 6,10,14-trimethyl-2-pentadecanol (VII), b3 150-5, n25D 1.4448. Oxidation of VII with
Na2Cr2O7 in dil. AcOH-H2SO4 at 40 gives 75% of 6,10,14-trimethyl-2-pentadecanone (phytol ketone), b3 150-2,
n25D 1.4433. EtMgBr and III give 51% of 1-chloro-3-methyl-3-pentanol (VIII), b50 104-5, camphor-like odor.
VIII (3.7 g.), 4 g. trimethylhydroquinone (IX) and 4 g. ZnCl2 in 15 cc. AcOH, refluxed 1 hr., the product decompd.
with H2O, extd. with petr. ether and the oil refluxed in MeOH-KOH for 30 min., give 2-ethyl-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-6-
hydroxychroman, m. 60-1. III and II give 34.5% of 1-chloro-3-methyl-3-pentadecanol, b3 165-70. The
Grignard reagent from crude VII (75% VII and 25% VI) and III give 38% of 1-chloro-3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-3-
hexadecanol(isophytol hydrochloride) (X), b2 173-5, n25D 1.4620. Reaction of 12 g. X, 5 g. IX and 2.5 g. ZnCl2
in 20 cc. AcOH (refluxing 1.5 hrs.), followed by hydrolysis with MeOH-KOH, gives 70% of -tocopherol. The
above reactions may constitute a new synthesis of phytol. They also make practicable the tocopherol synthesis of
Smith and Miller (C. A. 36, 1933.2).

Brandis; d15 0.866, nD20 1.4761, D20 41.6, soly. at 20 4.5-5 vols. of 90% EtOH, aldehyde (as citral) 1.15%;
this was sepd. into 4 fractions and a residue with a com. still with a 6-ft. column: I, 75%, up to 68 at 14 mm.; II
2.4%, 68/14 mm. to 76/12 mm.; III 14.9%, 76-105/12 mm., IV 3.8%, 105-29/12 mm.; residue (V) 3.4%, above
129/12 mm. Phys. properties of these fractions are given. The following products were identified by their phys.
consts. and the prepn. of derivs.; the details are not abstracted. I: - and -pinene, furfural, octyl aldehyde, d-
limonene and dipentene; II: nonylaldehyde and borneol; III: decylaldehyde, geraniol, citral, linalo.ovrddot.ol and -
terpineol; an unidentified aldehyde with an odor suggestive of cumaldehyde was not obtained in a pure state; it is
very susceptible to polymerization on exposure to air; the NaHSO3 compd. is very sol. IV: lauric aldehyde and
bisabolene; V: lauryl alc., bisabolene and an azulenic compd. The acidic fractions contained acetic, octylic and
decylic acids and a trace of a phenol. Borneol, geraniol and -terpineol occur as free alcs. and possibly also as
esters; lauryl alc. probably occurs as an ester. Phellandrene, p-cymene, terpinene, cadinene or high-boiling
paraffinic hydrocarbons could not be detected.

Abstract
cf. C. A. 33, 3331.7. When citral, RCH2CMe:CHCHO (R = Me2C:CHCH2) (I), is enolized and the enolic citral
acetate (II), RCH:CMeCH:CHOAc or RCH2C(:CH2)CH:CHOAc, sapond., the reformation of I is not to be
expected. The double bond can be shifted in 2 directions with the formation of RCH:CMeCH2CHO (III) or
RCH2C(:CH2)CH2CHO (IV). An unsuccessful attempt to carry out this sapon. was made by Semmler and
Schossberger (cf. C. A. 5, 2825-6). By heating II with abs. alc., or, better, with MeOH and Al alcoholate, exchange
of the ester radicals was effected with the formation of the alkyl acetate and isocitral. With the use of MeOH
practically no reduction by the Meerwein-Ponndorf reaction occurred. Under the long-continued action of (iso-
PrO)3Al the isocitral polymerized. When oxidized with KMnO4 and CrO3, isocitral yielded no ketoadipic acid but
rather gave acetone and HOAc. It is therefore to be represented by III and not by IV. The crystal form of the
semicarbazone indicated a homogeneous compd. Nothing can be said regarding the relation between isocitral and
the isogeraniol of Semmler and Schossberger. Isocitral (III) was prepd. by boiling II with (iso-PrO)3Al and abs.
MeOH together with AcOMe for 14 hrs. It is a faint yellow, mobile oil having a fresh, lemon odor, b12 95-7, d.15
0.890, n.D20 1.4838. It did not react with Na2SO3 + NaHCO3 and gave no cryst. condensation product with
CNCH2CO2H. The semicarbazone forms platelets m. 140 and is decompd. even by oxalic or phthalic acids with
the formation of terpenes and products of resinification. -Isocitryl--naphthocinchoninic acid, obtained from III,

Abstract
The constituents of the essential oils obtained from this shrub grown in various parts of the world have been detd.
(cf. Gildemeister and Hoffmann, Die Atherischen .ovrddot.Ole, C. A. 25, 3775). They vary considerably and those
for a north Indian oil are now recorded. The shrub grows both wild and cultivated. Its seeds are used for the
prepn. of cooling drinks and also as a diuretic. The oil has so far not been utilized. That used in these expts. was
distd. in steam from mature plants (leaves, soft twigs and flowering tops, all green) in a yield of 0.38%. It was very
pale yellow, with a strong but not unpleasant odor, differing considerably from that of Ocimum basilicum. The
following consts. were observed: d2020 0.89142, nD20 1.4842, D20 -2.66, acid no. 3.4, aldehyde 60%, phenol
1.2%, ester no. 9.4, methyl no. 2.0. After removal of the free acids by washing the oil with aq. Na2CO3 and the
phenols by aq. NaOH, the oil was shaken with freshly prepd. aq. Na2SO3 to sep. the citral. After removal of the
undissolved oil, the aq. soln. was shaken with C6H6, then made alk. with aq. NaOH. In this manner citral was
isolated (129 cc. from 275 cc. of the original oil). The oil, which did not react with Na2SO3, was distd. in steam to
remove a nonvolatile portion (15 cc.), then shaken at 0 with aq. NaHSO3. The cryst. NaHSO3 compd. which seps.
was collected, washed with H2O, alc., and Et2O, and the citronellal regenerated by alkali. It b. 197 (yield 15.7%).
The oil remaining after treatment with NaHSO3 was distd. under reduced pressure yielding l-linalo.ovrddot.ol
(10.2%), together with a high-boiling residue consisting of Me cinnamate and an unsaponifiable oil probably a
polymerized terpene. The Na2CO3 washings (see above) were acidified and distd. in steam yielding a mixt. of
acids. The fraction sol. in H2O was identified as AcOH, while analysis of the Ag salt of the insol. acid suggested
that it was citronellic acid. The aq. NaOH was concd. on the H2O-bath when an oil sepd.;
this was identified as eugenol. From the aq. soln. a further quantity of a phenol was sepd. giving with aq. FeCl3 a
bluish violet coloration. The amt. was too small to permit of its identification.

Abstract
Well-defined substances can be obtained in good yields from ,-unsatd. aldehydes and secondary aliphatic amines.
In their prepn. (CH2:CHCHO, MeCH:CHCHO, PhCH:CHCHO, citral, were used as the aldehyde, NHMe2 and
piperidine as the base) 2 points must be kept in mind: all the water must be removed by the addn. of much K2CO3,
and the temp. must be kept within definite limits. Below -10 the reaction does not take place, and above 20 the
yields are decreased by the formation of resinous products. One mol. aldehyde, RCH:CHCHO, reacts with 2 mols.
amine, NHR2, to form an unsatd. 1,3-diamine, RCH(NR2)CH:CHNR2. The new, almost always oily compds. are
quite sensitive. They darken quickly in the air and decompose on heating, so that many cannot be distd. even in
vacuo. They are readily hydrolyzed; when they are shaken with water, the odor of the aldehyde component is
evolved, as also when they are dissolved in acids. The amine can be recovered quantitatively from the acid soln.,
and when the hydrolysis is effected in the presence of dimethone, the aldehyde can also be isolated as the dimethone
compd. The 2 basic groups are apparently split off not simultaneously but progressively, the one next to the double
bond first. Cautious reduction of C5H10NCH2CH: CHNC5H10 (I) and MeCH(NC5H10)CH:CHNC5H10 (II) with
Na-Hg in acid soln. gives considerable 3-piperidinopropanol (III) and 3-piperidino-1-butanol (IV), resp. On
catalytic hydrogenation in cyclohexane, I and II and the corresponding NMe2 compds. yield 70-93% of the satd.
1,3-diamines, but there is also some cleavage of the N on C atom 3: RCH(NR2)CH:CHNR2 RCH2CH2CH2NR2
+ NHR2; in abs. alc. far more monoamine is obtained than in cyclohexane. The compd.
PhCH(NC5H10)CH:CHNC5H10 (V) obtained from PhCH:CHCHO and piperidine gives only the monoamine
PhCH2CH2CH2NC5H10 (VI) on hydrogenation because V is a PhCH2NH2 deriv. in which the basic group is
readily replaced by H. Me2NCH2CH:CHNMe2 (VII) and MeCH(NMe2)CH:CHNMe2 (VIII), because of their
low m. ps., can be distd.
in vacuo. At higher temps., these compds. decompose into a mol. of NHMe2 or piperidine and a doubly unsatd.
monoamine. I should yield piperidinoallene (IX) but the IX was obtained only in polymerized, nondistillable form.
II, on the other hand, gave in satisfactory yield 1-piperidino-8-methylallene (X), sensitive to air and distillable in
vacuo; on cautious acid hydrolysis (in the presence of methone) X yielded MeCH: CHCHO and on hydrogenation
gave 1-piperidinobutane. V decomposes into an allene base with special ease; with picric acid it gives piperidine
picrate and the picrate of the base PhCH:C:CHNC5H10 (XI), whose HI salt is also obtained, along with
dimethylpiperidinium iodide, from V with MeI. These reactions must be carried out in the absence of water, as the
salts of XI are easily hydrolyzed to PhCH:CHCHO. The HI salt is hydrogenated in abs. alc. to 1-phenyl-3-
piperidinopropane (XII). Citral with NHMe2 gives no diamine, which is probably too unstable, and there is
obtained directly the triply unsatd. monoamine Me2C:CHCH2CH2CMe:C:CHNMe2 (XIII). The NMe2 is very
easily hydrolyzed off with formation of a mixt. of much citral a and a little citral b. XIII can be hydrogenated in 3
stages to a hexahydro deriv.; the 1st 1.25 mols. are absorbed rapidly, when the hydrogenation is so slowed up by the
deposition of resinous products on the catalyst that it is well to stop the reaction. The double bond on C atom 1 is
apparently satd. during this stage, for the dihydro base (XIV) is not hydrolyzed by acids. On further hydrogenation
the 2,3-double bond is satd. The tetrahydro base (XV) takes up the last mol. of H very slowly to give the known
Me2CH(CH2)3CHMe(CH2)2NMe2 (XVI). XIV on Hofmann degradation should give a terpene
Me2C:CHCH2CH2CMe:C:CH2 but the product (XVII) gave, among other products, malonic acid on oxidation and
reacted in benzene with maleic anhydride. Apparently a shifting of a double bond takes place and XVII is probably
ocimene or myrcene.
XIV and XV readily add water in the presence of acids to form the alc. bases
Me2C(OH)CH2CH2CH2CMe:CHCH2NMe2 (XVIII) and Me2C(OH)CH2CH2CH2CHMeCH2CH2NMe2 (XIX).

Abstract
The action of secondary amines (piperidine) on AcH or mixts. of AcH and MeCH:CHCHO (I) has thus far been the
most profitable method of prepg. aliphatic polyene aldehydes (C. A. 25, 5891). In an attempt to condense I with
itself in the same way to octatrienal, Me(CH:CH)3CHO (II), however, no elimination of water was observed and no
II could be detected with N2H4 or malonic acid. Bernhauer and Woldan (C. A. 26, 4581) questioned this and,
without describing their expts., reported that I can be condensed to II. These apparently contradictory observations
have now been cleared up. Pure I does not undergo condensation in the presence of piperidine, but if it is exposed
to sunlight or for a short time to the light of a quartz lamp, addn. of a drop of piperidine is quickly followed by the
appearance of a brown color and the splitting off of water. It was readily shown that the illumination does not
destroy a substance which prevents condensation, but produces a compd. which is indispensable for condensation.
This is probably MeCH:CHCO2H (III), produced by autoxidation, for the same result is obtained by treating II in
the dark with a little III. If II "activated" by illumination or addn. of III is purified by adding NaOH, extg. with
ether and redistg., it again becomes entirely "inactive." III can be replaced by AcOH, citric acid, BzOH, cholic
acid, etc., or, less satisfactorily, by phenols. In other words, it is not piperidine but piperidine salts which effect the
condensation, a fact which was not unknown, as is shown by various observations recorded in the literature. For
the prepn. of II piperidine acetate (an equimol. mixt. of piperidine and AcOH dild. with a little alc.) is recommended.
This catalyst can also be used for the condensation of BzH with I to phenylpentadienal, with yields about equal to
those obtained by the usual NaOH method, while it is much superior to NaOH for the condensation of citral with
AcH to citrylideneacetaldehyde (IV).
Among the products of the reaction of piperidine on AcH + I is a small amt. of decatetraenal, Me(CH:CH)4CHO
(V) (Reichstein and Trivelli, C. A. 27, 266), probably formed according to both of the reactions I +
Me(CH:CH)2CHO (VI) V and AcH + II V. As considerable amts. of VI and III are formed, it is advisable to
recondense the tailings of the VI fraction and the III fraction with AcH, thereby greatly increasing the yield of V.
Condensation of V with malonic acid in pyridine gives a 5-fold unsatd. dicarboxylic acid, decarboxylated (but with
great loss) by dry heating to dodecapentaenoic acid, Me(CH:CH)5CO2H (VII); much better yields are obtained by
boiling the dicarboxylic acid with AcOH-Ac2O. The IV obtained by the authors (in 30% yield) had a peculiar
persistent pear odor and a much higher b. p., a higher d. and a somewhat higher n than that obtained by v. Braun and
Rudolph (C. A. 29, 452.4) from citrylideneacetic acid by their CrCl2 method and which they describe as having a
strong lily-of-the-valley odor. They believed their product was a mixt. of cis-trans isomers and the present authors
made numerous attempts to rearrange their own IV under the purest N or in vacuo with I, sunlight, ultraviolet light,
etc., but never observed the lily-of-the-valley odor. That their product has the structure assigned to it was shown by
(1) alk. degradation to citral, AcH and methylheptenone, and (2) oxidation with Ag2O and subsequent catalytic
hydrogenation to dl-,-dimethylcapric acid (VIII). Reduction with (iso-PrO)3Al and iso-PrOH gave a
citrylidene.ovrddot.ethyl alc. (IX) having a rose-like odor more persistent than that of geraniol. V,m. 107-7.5;
hydrazone, egg-yellow, begins to sinter and turn brown about 190, is completely resinified and black at 280,
dissolves in concd. H2SO4 with dark wine-red color, forms a brownish red soln. with SbCl3 in CHCl3. VII, m.

becoming light yellow after long standing and bringing to a boil; Me ester, yellow, m. 190.5, polymerizes and
autoxidizes on long standing in the air to a viscous brown mass insol. in ether. IV, b0.02 93-4, d420 0.9346, nD20
1.5278, stable for months in the dark in evacuated sealed ampoules, gradually turns brown in the light and rapidly
resinifies in the air, readily reduces NH3-AgNO3 and Fehling soln., gives a red-violet color with fuchsin-SO2,
dissolves rapidly in NaHSO3; semicarbazone, m. 166-7; 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone, red, m. 132-3. VIII, b12

semi-solid; p-bromophenacyl ester, m. 56. The same acid and ester were obtained by hydrogenation of
citrylideneacetic acid prepd. according to Verley (Bull. soc. chim. 21, 414(1899)). IX, b0.03 102-5, nD20 1.5119,

Abstract
On account of the structural analogy existing between geraniol (I) and rubber, represented by a long chain of
isoprene (II) groups, a study of the pyrolysis products of I has been made. A mixt. of 100 g. of essence of
citronella, 100 g. of finely powd. dry CaCl2 and 200 cc. of anhyd. benzene was kept at 0 for 24-48 hrs. and was
then filtered. The residue was washed with 100 cc. benzene, dried, decomposed with H2O, and I was sepd. by
distn. A 3-fold repetition of this purification gave pure I, b12 112-13, []D 0, d416 0.882, d417 0.881, nC16
1.4744, nD16 1.4784, nF16 1.4867, 17 0.084 c. g. s., 17 30.4 dynes/cm., parachor 415.5; p-xenylurethan, m. 69
(C. A. 24, 334). The pyrolysis was carried out in a 60-cm. Pyrex tube at 505-10 under reduced pressure and the
products were collected in a flask at room temp. and tubes at 0 and -80. The decompn. of 100 g. of I at 9 g. per
hr. at 160 mm. gave 1 l. isobutene (III), 1 g. HCHO (polymerized), 8 g. II, 2 g. MeCH:CHCHO (IV), 4 g.
Me2C:CHCHO (V), 10 g. hydrocarbons C10H18 (VI), together with H2O, EtOH, non-condensable gases, various
liquid fractions and a residue, b13 above 118. III condensed in the tube at -80 and was volatilized and
brominated by passage through a soln. of Br in CCl4, giving Me2CBrCH2Br, b. 148-50, nD20 1.5119. II was
sepd. by 2 rectifications through a Robert column and yielded a colorless, strong-smelling liquid, b750 33.8-4.1,
d420 0.681, nD20 1.4130, which gave a yellow ppt. with HgSO4 and combined with 2 mols. of HBr to form
Me2CBrCH2CH2Br. The fraction b. 98-102 contained IV, identified by its 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone, m. 192.
The fraction b. 130-2 contained V, which was isolated as the semicarbazone, m. 240 (decompn.); p-
nitrophenylhydrazone, m. 161 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone, m. 187-8. Me2C:CHCH2OH (VII), b. 140 (Ac
deriv., b. 152) (Courtot, Bull. soc. chim. 35, 660(1906)), may have been present in the fraction b750 143-52. The
fraction VI was distd. over Na and gave a mixt.
of dimethyloctadienes, b20 67-8, d418 0.782, nC18 1.4490, nD18 1.4522, nF18 1.4601, M. R. 47.37, 47.66 and
48.38 (calcd. for c, d and f 47.16, 47.45 and 48.10). The presence of 2,6-dimethyl-2,6-octadiene (VIII) in this mixt.
was shown by the above consts., by the correspondence of the dispersion 142 to that of an alkadiene, and by a study
of the products of ozonolysis which showed no terminal CH2 group, gave AcH, showed the presence of
AcCH2CH2CHO and tested for 127% isopropylidene groups. This high proportion of Me2CO indicated the
presence of a certain amt. of 2,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadiene (IX). The single bond between the C atoms 4 and 5 of I is
doubly conjugated and is a weak linkage from the thermal standpoint. Dimidiation (bisection) by rupture of the
chain at this point, together with a H atom shift, should give III and VII. It is probable that, during the pyrolysis,
VII is dehydrated to II and that it, in part, undergoes dehydrogenation to V which, in turn, loses CO to yield III.
The free H produced in the operation may reduce I to VIII which escapes decompn. by reason of the shorter duration
of the operation. The groups Me2C:CHCH2 formed by the initial cleavage may unite to form IX. I may form an
inner oxide which in turn may cleave by pyrolysis to yield HCHO and geraniolene or by a different cleavage may
produce CH2:CH2 and methylheptenone. A similar pyrolysis of geranial (citral) (X) was carried out in the hope of
obtaining abundant yields of V by dimidiation. X disintegrated almost entirely and gave some II but very little V.
Much III was formed together with a quantity of a hydrocarbon C9H16 (probably geraniolene) and some amt. of
dimethyloctadienes identical with VI. The pyrolysis of X is very different from that of I and this is attributed to the
influence of the conjugation of the CO group. The cleavage of the mol.
no longer takes place at the 4,5-linkage since its stability seems to have been increased by the presence of the double
conjugation on the one hand and a single double bond on the other and dimidiation no longer takes place.

autoxidized to 2,2,4-trimethylhexahydrobenzoic acid, m. 93. IV, COMe2 and NaNH2 in N2 give 1,1,5-trimethyl-
2--keto--butenyl-2,4-cyclohexadiene, b0.8 102-5 [semicarbazone, m. 190-1 (decompn.) ]. Citral is
converted by NaNH2 in Et2O into a compd., C20H30O (probably 2-formyl-1-methyl-1,5-di--isohexenyl-2-4-
cyclohexadiene), b9 203-5, while crotonaldehyde similarly gives resinous material. I, CH2BrCO2Et and Zn in
C6H6 give (after distn. of the intermediate with Zn dust) Et -methylsorbate, b9 82-3, hydrolyzed to -
methylsorbic acids II, b9 123-4, m. 17 (main product), and I, m. 109-10, both of which are reduced catalytically
to isoheptoic acid. Hydrolysis of the twice-distd. ester from III, CH2BrCO2Et, and Zn affords ,-dimethyl--
octa-trienoic acid (V), m. 187-8 (decompn.), identical with the dehydrogeranic acid of Cahn, Penfold and Simonsen
(C. A. 26, 1241); hydrolysis of the once distd. ester gives a little V and (mainly) an oily acid, which when heated at
50-95 loses CO2, forming the readily polymerized ,-dimethyl--heptatriene, b10 53-4, m. -23to -22.

Abstract
Compds. with more than 2 conjugated double bonds have hitherto been obtained synthetically in only 1 of the
numerous possible cis-trans isomeric forms, although such isomers occur in nature (e. g., the eleostearic acids and
the bixins). Kuhn and Hoffer have now found that the introduction of side-chain Me groups makes possible the
prepn. of a series of polyenecarboxylic acids in geometrically isomeric forms. Attempts to synthesize natural
dehydrogeranic acid, Me2C:CHCH:CHCMe:CHCO2H (I), m. 186 (Cahn, Penfold and Simonsen, C. A. 26, 1241)
by the series of reactions Me2C:CHCHO + Me2CO (+NaOH) Me2C:CHCH:CHCOMe + BrCH2CO2Me (+Zn)
Me2C:CHCH:CHCMe(OH)CH2CO2Me (+Ba(OH)2) I gave a product (II) m. 137. As I and II are very
similar to each other and to MeCH:CHCH:CHCH:CHCO2H spectroscopically, the difference between I and II
cannot be ascribed to differences in the positions of the double bonds. There was already some evidence in the
literature that the Reformatskii synthesis may yield isomeric products, and a systematic study of the synthesis as
applied to singly and doubly unsatd. Me ketones, RCH:CHCOMe and RCH:CHCH:CHCOMe, revealed that with
Zn and BrCH2CO2Me they give, when R = Me, HO esters, Me(CH:CH)nCMe(OH)CH2CO2Me (n = 1 or 2), but
when R = Ph they form directly the unsatd. esters Ph(CH:CH)nCMe:CHCO2Me. The HO ester from
MeCH:CHCOMe gives, after elimination of water and sapon., a mixt. of 2 isomeric acids consisting chiefly (93-6%)
of -methylsorb c acid (III), m. 120 (Burton and Ingold, C. A. 24, 59), but if the HO ester is treated directly with
boiling concd. Ba(OH)2 there is obtained in poor yield an oily acid which is rapidly and completely converted by
hot NaOH into an isomer (IV) of III, m. 98-9 (1 g. from 16 g. HO ester). B. and I.'s acid m. 74-6 was probably
this compd. in impure form; a mixt. of about equal parts III and IV m. 74-6 and cannot be sepd. by fractional
crystn. from dil. alc. From their method of prepn. and their phys. consts.
it is very probable that III and IV differ in their geometrical configuration at the double bond adjacent to the CO2H
group. Me(CH:CH)2COMe likewise gave a HO ester (V), dehydrated by KHSO4 or P2O5 to a Me -
methyloctatrienate (VI) which on sapon. gave a mixt. of 2 isomeric acids, also obtained directly from V with
Ba(OH)2. The Me -styrylcrotonate (VII), obtained directly from PhCH:CHCOMe, yields on sapon. almost
exclusively (94%) an acid (3-methyl-5-phenyl-2,4-pentadienic 1-acid), m. 124, which is converted into an isomer
m. 160 by rearrangement with I in sunlight. The Me -styrylacrylcrotonate (VIII) obtained from
Ph(CH:CH)2COMe likewise yields a mixt. of acids, m. 167-9 and 202-3, resp. With the information thus gained,
K. and H. were now able to synthesize the natural (high-melting) I by avoiding the direct sapon. of the intermediate
HO ester with Ba(OH)2. The lower-melting isomers are the more easily sol. forms. The absorption spectra of the
isomers are almost identical as regards the positions of the bands but the bands of the lower-melting isomers have a
lesser height. It is very probable, although not definitely proved, that the lower-melting isomers are the cis-forms.
Natural I would then have a configuration corresponding to citral a and geraniol, and the synthetic II would
correspond to citral b and nerol. Me 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-4-hexenate, from MeCH:CHCOMe (55% yield), b12 82-
5, b774 193-5, gives with KHSO4 or P2O6 in benzene 50-7% of Me -methylsorbate, b12 80-4. d419 0.967,
nD18 1.5010. Me 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-4,6-octadienate (V) (30% yield), b2 90-105, easily autoxidizes in the air to
a yellow viscous sirup. VI (50% yield), yellowish, b11 117-25, also readily autoxidizes and polymerizes; at 0 it
partially seps. in crystals m. 33. The free 3-methyl-2,4,6-octatrienic 1-acids m. 160-1 (cor.) (yield, 5 g. crude or 3
g. pure acid from 8 g. ester), and 105-10 (yield, 1.0-1.2 g.). 6-Methyl-3,5-heptadien-2-one (43% from
Me2C:CHCHO and Me2CO), b115 86-7 d419 0.
897, nD19 1.5292, soon changes to a viscous yellow sirup in the air; oxime, m. 108-9 (cor., Berl). Me ester of I,
very un-stable, b12 127-35. VII (30 g. from 72 g. PhCH:CHCOMe), b12 170-2, d417 1.065, nD17 1.6258. VIII
(Me 3-methyl-7-phenyl-2,4,6-heptatrien-1-ate) (12% yield), viscous yellow oil, b0-3 160-80.

Abstract
Reduction of Schiff bases to secondary amines gives different yields, depending on the nature of the base. Thus,
while PhCH:NPh is reduced almost quant. to PhCH2NHPh by the ordinary reducing agents, the yields decrease very
rapidly with increasing mol. wt. of the radicals attached to the N and with Schiff bases contg. unsatd. residues, as
these unstable substances often easily escape reduction as the result of polymerization or hydrolysis. For this
reason recourse had already been had in some cases (e. g., in the prepn. of Ph(CH2)3NHEt from PhCH:CHCH:NEt;
cf. C. A. 21, 2882) to catalytic reduction with colloidal Pt in acid soln. But this method also gives no appreciable
quantities of basic reduction products with more unstable imino compds. (e. g., citralmethylamine (I)); evidently the
hydrolytic action of the acids is more rapid than the hydrogenation velocity. Whereas a Schiff base in neutral soln.
or suspension takes up either no H or only an insufficient quantity, addn. of NH3 to the colloidal Pt results in a
vigorous absorption of H and the formation of the corresponding secondary base. Amines exert a similar catalytic
influence. In fact, in many cases it is better not to start with the preformed Schiff bases but with a mixt. of their
components (aldehyde and amine). Thus, citral and a slight excess of MeNH2 yielded considerably more N-
methyl-3,7-dimethyloctylamine (II) than did I. Under the proper conditions citral in NH4OH suspension gives no
primary amine but only the secondary bis[3,7-dimethyloctyl]amine (III). While other aldehydes of high mol. wt.
yield secondary amines in the same way (e. g., diheptylamine (IV) from enanthaldehyde), the initial members of the
aldehyde series (AcH, EtCHO) yield the tertiary amines. Ketones with NH3 or primary amines in aq. suspension
also yield secondary bases. Citralcyclohexylamine, b18 170-2, gives in alc. with colloidal Pt and AcOH N-
cyclohexyl-3,7-dimethyloctylamine, b14 151-3; HCl salt, m. 154-5; picrolonate, m. 174-5.
Citralisoamylamine, b20 150-4, in neutral alc. soln. yields N-isoamyl-3,7-dimethyloctylamine, b17 142-5; HCl
salt, m. 168-9; picrolonate, m. 186-7. Citralethylamine, very unstable, b12 113-5, in neutral soln. yields at most
2% of N-ethyl-3,7-dimethyloctylamine (V) but 9 g. of the base in 50 cc. alc. with 3 cc. of 25% NH3 and 100 cc. of
1% Pt (contg. 1 g. gelatin) absorbs the calcd. quantity of H in 1.5 hrs. at room temp. under 3 atm. excess pressure
and yields 5 g. V, b13 135-7; HCl salt, m. 102-3; NO deriv., oil; picrolonate, m. 196-7. I, b13 107-9 (in H).
III, from 16.2 g. citral and colloidal Pt (prepd. from 30 cc. H2PtCl6, 20 cc. 1% colloidal Pt and 20 cc. 10% gum
arabic) suspended in 40 cc. H2O, treated with 7.5 cc. 24% aq. NH3 and hydrogenated at room temp. under 3 atm.
excess pressure, b15 191-3; HCl salt, m. 141-2. IV, m. 30, b. 270-2; HCl salt, m. 250, is not hygroscopic.
(iso-Pr)2NH, from Me2CO in aq. NH4OH, b. 84; HCl salt (5 g. from 15 g. Me2CO), m. 212-4; picrate, m. 140.
MeCOEt gives (MeEtCH)2NH, b. 230-3, whose HCl salt is not deliquescent but, when pure, is stable in the air and
m. 215-6. Et2CO gives (Et2CH)2NH. From cyclohexanone is obtained dicyclohexylamine, b20 128-30 HCl
salt, m. around 340. MeCOEt and aq. EtNH2 give EtNHCHMeEt, b. 96-8. N-Ethylcyclohexylamine, from
cyclohexanone and EtNH2, b. 161.

Abstract
Process of manufacturing a fragrant product, consisting in condensing citrol and chloracetone in the absence of
water with condenstation agents. To a mixture, cooled to 3, composed of citral, 1.200 kg., chloracetone, 1,200, dry
benzene, 4,800, there is added sodamide, 20%, the product stirred for 8 hours at a low temperature, and left over
night at the ordinary temperature, when the mass is extracted by a solvent which is afterwards eliminated, followed
by distillation in vacuo, gathering the fraction between 170-200, redistilling and collecting the distillate going over
at 175, and polymerizing, at a low temperature and under 12 mm. pressure. A better method is to employ
phosphoric acid of 63, B.acte.e., and operate under 40.
