II (2 g.) was dissolved in acetic acid (50 cc.) and, after addition of potassium dichromate (2 g.) in acetic acid (30 cc.), heated to boiling for two minutes. Upon pouring onto ice, a yellow precipitate (1.7 g.) was obtained. It crystallized from ethanol in yellow prisms of m. p. 135-136°. An additional recrystallization from acetic acid raised the m. p. to 140-141 °, as reported in the literature.6 The yield of pure produpt was 1.2 g. (60%).
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.
