The So‐called coal tar resins are defined and their preparation from vertical retort tar and pitch is described. The resins are divided into resinols, resinoic acids, resinenes, and resinamines, about 99% consisting of resinenes. The importance of dxygen in these compounds is discussed. Further fractionation of resinencs by precipitation and chromatography and the analyses of the fractions are reported. It appears that the resinols react during the distillation of tar to give higher molccular wegiht resinous compounds.
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.
