Abstract
H, 6-9; N, 4-2 %). The p-bromophenacyl ester of 2-hydroxy-2-methylnonanoic acid was prepared in 80% yield by refluxing for 1 hr. equimolecular quantities of the sodium salt and p-bromophenacyl bromide in ethanol. It formed felted needles, m.p. 1110, from light petroleum. (Found: C, 56-2; H, 6-5; Br, 20-7. C18H2504Br requires: C, 56-1; H, 6-5; Br, 20-8%). reduoed both by glucose and gluconate without attendant cellulose synthesis. When 02 was introduced into these systems, rapid synthesis of cellulose occurred.
