Abstract
Thirty-two percent of the oestrus-producing material in the ether extract of acidified urine was crystallized. This substance melted at 264-266[degree] and the molecular formula C18H24O3 was suggested for it. The substance was dextrorotatory (a)5461= +38. It is acid in nature and contains at least 3 OH groups. One of these is acidic and there is one hydroxyphenyl radical.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
