241. Dehydrogenation. Part I. The catalytic dehydrogenation of hydronaphthalenes with and without an angular methyl group

Disulfurization as Method of Identifying Sulfur Compounds

“…Within individual chromatograms peak heights are comparable. The hydrogen transfer reaction, demonstrated in these data, probably was first observed by Wieland (11) and has been discussed by Linstead et al (7), Atkins, Richards, and Davis (1), and others (6). It was encountered by the authors in applying the desulfurization technique in corroborating the presence of 2-and 3-methylbenzo- [6]thiophene in Wasson, Tex., crude oil.…”

“…Feigl (4) has discussed use of this catalysis as a qualitative test for compounds containing divalent sulfur. Hofman-Bang (5) and Ldvtrup (7) have studied its kinetics. Holter and L^vtrup (6) base a method for estimating cystine upon measurements of nitrogen released during the catalyzed reaction.…”

peri Interaction in Naphthalene Derivatives

“…A number of reports (1,60,336,382,429) have appeared from various workers on the isolation of molecular complexes of polymethylnaphthalenes. A perusal of the available compilation (171) of the melting points of these complexes, especially of pm'-methylnaphthalenes, provides an interesting study.…”
