Abstract
Water is eliminated in the conversion of trihydroxy oestrin to ketohydroxy oestrin. The water is formed from the two non-acidic hydroxyls. Ketohydroxyoestrin, which is acid due to a phenolic hydroxyl, is formed by distillation of either trihydroxy-oestrin or trihydroxyoestrin methyl ether with potassium bisulphate in a high vacuum.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
