Abstract
IT has been reported1 that two modifications of 1,2,3,5-tetra-acetyl-D-ribofuranose can be prepared, one (A) melting at 56–58° C.; the other (B) melting at 85° C. It was also reported that a transformation in the solid state took place from A to B which was catalysed by the presence of B, and that no laboratory which was once contaminated by B had been able to repeat the preparation of A.
