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

 molecules of hydroxylamiue liydrocliloride for an hour. On cooling, nothing 

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

 in the water-bath a solid separated, which on being well waslied witli water 

 and recrystallized from a mixture of benzene and ligroin (40-60°) gaA'-e 

 fine wliite needles melting at 208"". It may be recrystallized also from 

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

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

 etlier; insoluble in ligroin (40-60^).

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

 derivative witli a mixture of acetic anliydride and anhydrous sodium acetate 

 for forty-five minutes, or until the mixture becomes decidedly pink iu 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, wlien hydrolyzed by means of alcoholic potash 

 yields 3-4-dicum5'l-5-pheny Iphenol . 



By 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°. This substance is soluble in cold acetic etlier, 

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

 soda.
