The Mercury-Sensitized Photo-Reactions of 2,3-Dimethyl Butane
The work encompassed by this thesis is partially a reproduction of the results obtained by John A. Marcia in his work on the photo-chemical reactions of branched hydrocarbons. The previous work done on this particular problem was rendered partially valueless because of the loss of the liquid hydrocarbon product when a fractionation column at the Texas Company Laboratory, Beacon, New York, broke during the fractionation run.

This thesis describes an experiment in the ultraviolet absorption of hydrocarbons.
Preparation of Various Amino Alcohol Derivatives of p-Chlorophenoxyacetic Acid and Phenylacetic Acid
This thesis deals with the preparation of dialkylaminoalkoxy derivatives of p-chlorophenoxyacetic acid and phenylacetic acid.
A Qualitative Analysis of the Products of the Reaction Between Chlorosulfonic Acid and 2, 2, 4-Trimethylpentane
This study was made in an attempt to analyze qualitatively the reaction products formed when chlorosulfonic acid reacts with 2, 2, 4-trimethylpentane.
A Quantitative Chemical Analysis of Yellow Dwarf Milo Grain
Evidence indicates that the sorghums were grown as cultivated crops in Egypt as early as 2200 B. C. The sorghums are native to Africa, but indications are that they may have evolved independently in India.
Reactions of Thionyl Chloride, Sulfuryl Chloride, and Chlorosulphonic Acid with Various Types of Hydrocarbons
This study was made to compare rates of reactions between thionyl chloride, sulfuryl chloride, and chlorosulphonic acid, separately, with various types of hydrocarbons.
The Storage of Organic Matter in Bottom Deposits of Lake Dallas
The purpose of this investigation is to find which season of the year organic matter increases most in the bottom deposits of Lake Dallas, the reason for the increase, and the amount of organic matter increase from year to year. It is hoped that this study will be beneficial in understanding the conditions in artificial reservoirs.
A Study of Sympathiomimetic Amines, Synthesis of O-Alkylhydroxylamines
Although many sympathomimetic amines have been prepared, the perfect one has not yet been made. Chemists are still attempting to synthesize a selective drug with more prolonged effects and free from side reactions or compensatory vasodilation. With this idea in mind it seemed feasible to prepare a group of O-substituted hydroxylamines.
A Study of the Thermal Decomposition Products of Lignite
Lignite is a low grade of coal widely distributed throughout the world. A complete analysis of lignite has not been made, due to the difficulty encountered in the separation of the complex organic compounds bonded therein.
A-(Substitutedbenzenesulfonyl)-Substitutedacetophenones
This thesis discusses the preparation of a-(o-nitro-p-methylphenylmercapto)-acetophenone by the reaction between acetophenone and o-nitro-p-methylbenzenesulfenyl chloride in boiling chloroform. The use of stannous chloride in glacial acetic acid for the reduction of nitro groups to amino groups was found generally satisfactory in spite of the difficulty often met with in isolating the amino product.
The Syntheses of Amino Substituted Salicylic Acids and Related Compounds
The introduction of the ether linkage into various compounds imparts physiological activity, hence the synthesis of various ether derivatives involving the phenol group seemed to be a possible route to tuberculostatic substances. The compounds reported in this work are to be tested for tuberculostatic properties by Parke, Davis and Company.
The Synthesis and Testing of Differential Herbicides
This investigation was limited to the preparation of substituted phenoxyacetic acids and related compounds. The types of substances prepared for testing can, in general, be placed in three groups. These are: aryloxyacetic acids, arylmercaptoacetic acids, and those acids containing the thiophene nucleus.
