Diffusion in Agar Gels by a Light Absorption Method 2879 and 2.94 g. of absolute ethanol. Ethyl y-(o-methoxyphenyl)-butyrate (14 g., 0.063 mole) was then added dropwise with stirring and the mixture refluxed for twelve hours. The reaction mixture was decomposed with water and extracted with ether. A red viscous oil remained after distillation of ether.5 -M ethoxy-3,4-dihydro-1,2-naphthalic Anhydride (VIII).-The above oxalyl ester was added slowly to 120 cc. of concentrated sulfuric acid, the temperature being kept between 20-25°, and the mixture allowed to stand for two hours at room temperature. The solution was poured onto ice, the yellow solid filtered and recrystallized from benzene-ligroin, yield 5.2 g. (36% based on starting ester VIb), m. p. 169-170°.
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.
