Abstract
THE thirty preparations described in this volume are characterised, as usual, by their variety. Organic reagents, for example, range from that old favourite, methyl iodide, to representatives of the newer technique, such as 2, 4-dinitrophenyl-hydrazine and perbenzoic acid (made from benzoyl peroxide and sodium methylate by an improved procedure). Among other interesting substances contained in the selection are azelaic acid, diphenyl triketone, Ph.CO.CO.CO.Ph, fluorobenzoic acid, and tricarbomethoxymethane, CH(CQ2CH3)3. The appended index covers volumes 10-13 of the series.
