THE method briefly presented here for the iodometric determination of reducing sugar formed in the hydrolysis of starch by amylases was developed to meet the special
The rearrangement product was shown to be the benzoate of benzoylcarbinol (IV) by a mixed melting point with an authentic sample of that carbinol prepared by the method of Rather and Reid.12 (12) Rather and Reid, This Journal, 41, 75 (1919).
SummaryDibenzoylcarbinol has been prepared and its chemical behavior described.The carbinol, which does not exist as an ene-diol, is very readily oxidized. It is cleaved by alkali and rearranges on heating to furnish the benzoate of benzoylcarbinol.
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.
