VIII.—Electrosynthesis in the Series of Normal Dibasic Acids

Abstract

In a previous communication the electrosynthesis of n-dotriacontanedi-carboxylic acid was described. This work has been continued, and three more acids of this series have been prepared, namely, eicosanedicarboxylic acid, HOOC. (CH2)20. COOH; tetracosanedicarboxylic acid, HOOC. (CH2)24. COOH; and octacosanedicarboxylic acid, HOOC. (CH2)28. COOH.
