Abstract
THE water-soluble properties of Girard T hydrazones make the reagent potentially effective for isolation of carbonyls from mixtures soluble in non-polar solvents. In work on the chemistry of rancidity1, we have found the reagent useful in learning about the distribution of volatile and non-volatile carbonyls in rancid fat. This work indicated possible usefulness of the reagent for investigation of the complex carbonyl anatomy of autoxidized fats. Successful application depends on adaptation to quantitative isolation of very small amounts of carbonyls, and on devising means of controlling the reaction so as to isolate at will free carbonyl and bound or potential carbonyl.
