Abstract
DURING a study of the reineckates of a series of clinically important basic compounds, the mechanism of the reaction between the bases and ammonium reineckate was studied. It was found that the formation of the complexes depends on the basicity of the compounds, and that under suitable pH conditions certain bases can be separated quantitatively from one another. A brief discussion of the reaction mechanism on which the separation is based is presented here, and a full report on this work will be published elsewhere.
