Abstract
Reichstein and Shoppee1,2 observed that some corticosteroids develop fluorescence by treatment with sulphuric acid. Of the adrenocortical steroids isolated by them, only the α,β-unsaturated ketones, with the exception of 11-dehydrocorticosterone and 11 -dehydro - 17α - hydroxycorticosterone (cortisone), showed this reaction.
