Abstract

In qualitative organic analysis the final test for the identification of any compound is the preparation of some solid derivative of definite molting point. For routine work it is quite essential that this derivative be easily prepared and purified.

A large number of general derivatives for classes of compounds are now commonly used, such as, the aryl sulfonyl derivatives of amines, the p-bromophenacyl and the p-bromobenzyl eaters of the acids, and the 3,5 dinitrobenzoate esters of the alcohols. However, in the identification of alkyl halides there Is no general type of derivative that possesses the above mentioned characteristics. It la the purpose of this work to enlarge upon the work of James L. Finnerty (6) and consider the applicability of the reaction between silver 3,5, dinitrobenzoate and the alkyl halides to form a series of solid derivatives.
