200 ml. of methanol was reduced in a low pressure hydrogenator over 24 hr. The insoluble solid and catalyst were filtered and recrystallized from 550 ml. of nitromethane to give 13.4 g. (63.5%). An analytical sample decomposed at 224-225°, Xmax. 5% EtOH 348 µ (< 20,750). The infrared spectrum (mull) had bands at 3.0, 3.05, 5.8 and 6.3 µ.
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.
