  • Thus with the direct ester reactions the normal fibrous cellulose (C_ {6} H_ {16} O_ {5}) yields a monoacetate, dibenzoate, and a trinitrate respectively under conditions which determine, with the simple hexoses and anhydrides, the maximum esterification, i.e. all the OH groups reacting.

  • The paper contains a large number of quantitative results in proof of the various points established, and concludes with elaborate tables, giving the equivalents in the known pentoses and their anhydrides for any given weight of phloroglucide from 0.050 to 0.300 grm.

  • From the characteristic property of yielding furfural, which they have in common with the pentoses, they have been assumed to be the anhydrides of these C_ {5} sugars or pentosanes; but the direct evidence for this assumption has been shown to be wanting.

  • Being nonvolatile, it will drive out most other anhydrides when heated to a high temperature with their salts, especially when the silicates so formed are fusible.

  • They also lay stress upon the superior stability of the nitrates of the anhydrides, especially of the ketoses.
