A molecule of the substance dissolved in alcohol was boiled with three 

 molecules of hydroxylamine liydrochloride for an hour. On cooling, nothing 

 appeared, but after the larger portion of the alcohol had been distilled off 

 in the water-bath a solid separated, which on being well washed with water 

 and recrystallized from a mixture of benzene and ligroin (40-60°) gave 

 fine white needles melting at 208°. It may be recrystallized also from 

 aqueous alcohol. The analysis shows it to be the monoxim. 



Calculated as 03„H3,03N. Found.

The substance is easily soluble in cold acetic acid, benzene, and acetic 

 etiier; insoluble in ligroin (40-60°).

This body can easily be prepared by boiling the /^2~1^6to-R-hexene 

 derivative with a mixrure of acetic anhydride and anhydrous sodium acetate 

 for forty-five minutes, or until the mixture becomes decidedly pink in color. 

 The solution is then poured into a large amount of cold water and allowed 

 to settle. After recrystallization from glacial acetic acid, it is obtained in 

 large bunches of long radiating fibers, and melts, when pure, at 122°. It 

 is soluble in cold benzene, chloroform, ether, and ligroin (40-60°), in hot 

 alcohol and acetic acid.

The acetyl derivative, when hydrolyzed by means of alcoholic potash 

 yields 3-4-dicumyl-5-phenylphenol. 



*™°° Bv warming the acetate in a water-bath for ten minutes with four 

 molecules of alcoholic potash and pouring into dilute hydrochloric acid, an 

 amorphous mass is obtained which crystallizes from warm alcohol in large 

 thin plates, melting at 137°. Tliis substance is soluble in cold acetic ether, 

 benzene, chloroform, ether and hot ligroin (40-60°); insoluble in caustic 

 soda.
