Abstract
LONDON. Chemical Society, May 16.—Prof. Emerson Reynolds, president, in the chair—The following papers were read:Derivatives of methylfurfural, by H. J. H. Fentonand Miss M. Gostling. A simple method of obtaining pure methylfurfural is described.—Optically active nitrogen compounds and their bearing on the valency of nitrogen; dextro- and lævo-α-benzyl- phenylallylmethylammonium salts, by W. J. Pope and A. W. Harvey. The authors have prepared in a state of purity a nurnber of substances owing their optical activity to the presence ofan asymmetric nitrogen atom; it is shown that d- and l-benzyl-phenylallylmethylammonium iodides and bromides slowly become optically inactive when preserved in chloroform solution.
