Abstract

For the qualitative identification of a liquid organic compound, the attempted conversion of the latter into a solid derivative has become a routine procedure. To serve this purpose it is desirable that the derivative should be formed readily and in good yield, in order that a small amount of material should suffice for positive characterization, be purified easily, and possess a sharp melting point. For the recognition of a carbonyl compound, especially of ...
