YÜ-Gwan Chen was born in Nanking, China, March 8, 1893. After graduation from college in 1915, he further studied Chinese classics, 1915-16. He entered Case School of Applied Science, Cleveland, Ohio, as a special student in the Department of Chemistry, 1916-17. He registered at Columbia University to pursue graduate work in chemistry under the Faculty of Pure Science; and was awarded the degree of Master of Arts in 1918. From September 1919 to June 1922, he has been pursuing research in organic chemistry in the research laboratories of Havemeyer Hall, Columbia University. FOOTNOTES:Transcriber's notes: The diagram of 3-(p-phenylarsonic)-aminoselenazine, labelled (II), has been adjusted to make its structure clearer. The "l" in "2HCl" in the first equation under "Preparation of 2-methyl-4-selenoquinazolone" was missing in the original. The following is a list of changes made to the original. The first line is the original line, the second the corrected one. selnoquinazolone prepared in the course of this research on four different strains of mouse carcenoma and one strain in consequence of its smell I so completely loss my sense of smell of the phenazine, oxasine, thiazine, acridine series show and Se again most powerful of the whole series. simplicity, is that of Babriel and Stelzner(52), on cooling was filtered out and recrystalized from dilute alcohol. a sealed tube at 110° with alcohol saturated at zero degree with It was prepared from Sodium hydroxide in absolute alcohol took an hour and half. The flask was removed from the oil The precipitrate was recrystallized several times (e) An attempt was made to make o-aminobenzselenamide, It dissolves readily in alkalies and is slightly soluble This was found to be desirable when the dinitroselezazole was burned. into a large volume of water when the selenozole precipitated out it was necessary to dissolve in hot HCl again and to recrystalize. (b) 106 grams of benaldehyde were heated with 93 grams of It is difficulty soluble in ethyl alcohol, ethyl acetate, and toluene, benzene, alcohol, and difficulty soluble when cold. from alcohol in fine yellowish needles, melting at 201.2°202.3°C carbontetrachloride, acetone, but difficulty soluble in ligroin. 19 grams of nitric and 30 grams of sulphuric acids was introduced in the same manner as the reduction of mononitro derivative This diamino compound crystalizes in yellowish glistening needles compounds were also prepared from this diamino derivatives. The former crystalizes in cubes from dilute alcohol; |
