Allen's Commercial Organic Analysis: a Treatise on the Properties, Modes of Analysis, and Proximate Analytical Examination of the Various Organic Chemicals and Products Employed in the Arts, Manufactures, Medicine, etc; with Concise Methods for the Detection and Estimation of their Impurities, Adulterations, and Products of Decomposition

Abstract

THE editor of this volume can rightly claim that it is a complete thesis on the analysis of the vegetable alkaloids. It shows improvement over the previous edition for reference purposes, as all the material on this important section of organic chemistry is now collected and classified in one book, which includes the subject matter from Vol. 6 of the last edition on alkaloids generally, and on the volatile bases of vegetable origin, as well as the subject matter from Vol. 7 on the vegetable alkaloids. Special sections, arranged alphabetically, owing to the difficulty of chemical classification, are given to products of definite commercial importance in connexion with food and drugs (for example, caffeine, cocaine, nicotine, opium, etc., receive separate treatment). The other known alkaloids are systematically dealt with in a general introduction, again with alphabetical grouping. In the introduction the reactions and properties of the vegetable alkaloids as a group are also reviewed.
