D-α-Fructoheptonic lactone (I) was oxidized with an equimolar amount of periodic acid to give formaldehyde and a hexuronic lactone (II) which was hydrolyzed to crystalline 4-C-hydroxymethyl-L-xyluronic acid (III), (68% yield). Hydrogenation of III gave an aldonic acid which was isolated as crystalline 2-C-hydroxymethyl-L-xylonic lactone (V). Reduction of V by sodium amalgam gave 2-C-hydroxymethyl-D-xylose (VI), which crystallized after purification as the 2,5-dichlorophenylhydrazone. Hydrogenation of VI gave 1,1-di(C-hydroxymethyl)-D-threitol (VII) which was purified as the crystalline hexaacetate. Treatment of III with methanolic hydrogen chloride gave a glassy material which was reduced by sodium borohydride and hydrolyzed by hydrochloric acid to give 4,4-di(C-hydroxymethyl)-D-threose (IX), which was isolated and characterized as the crystalline 2,5-dichlorophenylhydrazone. Oxidation of III by either bromine or nitric acid gave 2-C-hydroxymethyl-D-xylaric acid (IV), which was characterized as the crystalline ammonium salt.

The dependence of the distribution ratio of the metal on the concentration of hydrochloric of nitric acid was examined for Fe, Co, Ni and Cu extraction with 0.05M solution of dibenzylsulfoxide in toluene. Iron is extracted considerably more than the other metals, and is better extracted from hydrochloric acid than from nitric acid. The separation factor αFe/M (for 8M-HCl) is of the order of 104; this is not sufficient for a separation of trace quantities of iron from Co, Ni and Cu, but even at lower concentrations of HCl (e.g., 5M) the values is high enough for extraction chromatographic separation. The composition of the iron solvate extracted from HCl or LiCl medium was determined to be HFeCl4.2 B (B = dibenzyl sulfoxide).

An analytical method is described for the determination of microgram amounts of silver in galena ores, based on the "reversion" of silver dithizonate. Silver is separated from relatively large amounts of lead by extraction as dithizonate into chloroform from an aqueous 1:99 nitric acid solution. Separation from mercury, which is also extracted under these conditions and would, if present, interfere in the analysis, is achieved by reverting the dithizonate solution with a 5% aqueous sodium chloride solution which is also 0.015 molar in hydrochloric acid. Following dilution of this aqueous solution and adjustment of pH, silver is again extracted into chloroform as the dithizonate, and determined absorptiometrically. Analyses of a number of galena ore samples showed a precision of within 3% for a silver content ranging from 0.03 to 0.4%.Some other methods for isolating silver from these samples, which were tried but found unsatisfactory, are discussed.

The crystalline structure of platinum does not appear to have been studied, although it forms an interesting subject for investigation. A small ingot of pure platinum was obtained for the experiments. A section was cut therefrom and machined to 5/16 inch square and 1/10 inch in thickness. The section was then carefully polished and etched in aqua regia of the following strength :— 4 parts of hydrochloric acid (sp. gr. 1·2). 1 part of nitric acid (sp. gr. 1·42).

For the discovery of free hydrochloric acid in gastric juice, Dr. Simon proposes a new reaction based on the properties of guaiac gum to oxidize in the presence of various oxidants (for example, nitric acid) and give a characteristic blue coloration.
