Abstract
PARIS. Academy of Sciences, September 25.—M. Maurice Lévy in the chair.—Studies on trimethylene, by M. Berthelot. Preliminary experiments were made on the preparation of trimethylene in the pure state, free from propylene, and the gas obtained, believed to be pure, was characterised by its slow reaction with bromine. Propyl alcohol dropped upon hot zinc chloride gives propylene mixed with hydrogen and propane, but almost free from trimethylene; isopropyl alcohol behaves similarly, and the substitution of strong sulphuric acid for the zinc chloride does not result in the formation of any trimethyl-ene.—
