From these analyses it appears likely that the fractions boiling 
between 160 — 180° consisted essentially of ethyl capronate (B. P. 
166'6), since the silver salt of capronic acid requires Ag=48-4 per 
cent. The remaining two fractions possibly consisted of a mixture of 
ethyl oenanthate (B. P. 187°) and ethyl caprylate (B. P. 205°) since 
the silver salts, these acids require Ag = 45’5 and 43'0 per cent, 
respectively.
