The mercury analyses-were carried out according to Rauscher's method as modified by us.4 Summary Several series of aromatic glycol mercurials (4) Shukis and Tallman, Ind. Eng. Chem., Anal. Ed., 12, 123 (1940).have been prepared and their bactericidal properties evaluated. An attempt has been made to correlate the antibacterial activity with the structure of the mercurials.New York, N. Y.
Palmitic Acid (m. p. 62°).-From fractions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 an acid melting between 56 and 62 0 was obtained. Anilide derivatives prepared from these acids had a m. p. 88.5°. Palmitic acid anilide melts at 89.5°.Stearic Acid (m. p. 69.2°).-No pure stearic acid could be isolated from fractions 3, 4 and 5. After several recrystallizations these fractions yielded products melting at 64, 65 and 67°, respectively, which were mixtures of stearic and palmitic acids. The residue, however, yielded pure stearic acid m. p. 69.2°. An anilide prepared from this acid melted at 93 °. Stearic acid anilide melts at 93 °.
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.
