A yellow zone on the column was removed by elution with benzene-alcohol, and a crystalline yellow product obtained after concentrating the solution gave on sublimation 240 mg. of material, m. p. 167-168.5°, and 70 mg., m. p. 160-165°. The total product was converted to the trinitrobenzene derivative, which crystallized from benzene-alcohol in bright orange needles, m. p. 239-240°. Decomposition of the derivative in benzene-alcohol with stannous chloride and hydrochloric acid afforded colorless plates. On recrystallization from alcohol 250 mg. (26%) of colorless blades were obtained, m.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
