Abstract

This contamination from a closely related isomer could not be expected to affect appreciably the physical properties of the compound. This was substantiated when the electrolysis of Butlerow's beta acid gave material that checked the product made by dehydration of the alcohol. The decane, 2, 2, 4-trimethylheptane, is mentioned in the literature6 in connection with the investigation of impurities in isooctane. From still residues there was isolated a ...
