INTRODUCTION TO THE SERIES THE publication of this series of
pamphlets has been under taken to make available in a permanent
form complete detailed directions for the preparation of various
organic chemical reagents. In announcing this purpose it may be
well to men tion at the outset some of the difficulties in the way
of the research chemist, which it is hoped this series will be able
to overcome. The cost of chemicals is prohibitive to the majority
of chemists this wastrue before the war when Kahlbaums complete
supply was available, and to-day with our dependence on domestic
stocks, this cost has increased. The delay in obtaining chem icals,
especially from abroad, even if the expense need not be considered,
is an important factor. These difficulties have therefore thrown
the research chemist on his own resources. The preparation of
materials for research, always time con suming and annoying, is
made increasingly so by the inexactness of the published
information which so often omits essential details. Because of
this, much needless experimentation is necessary in order to obtain
the results given in the published reports. As the additional
information thus acquired is seldom published, duplication of such
experiments occurs again and again, a waste of time and material.
It is hoped these diffi culties may be remedied by the publication
of this series of pam phlets. In other words, the authors hope to
make this a clearing house for the exchange of information as to
methods of prep aration of some of the most needed organic chemical
reagents. On account of the impossibility of obtaining the less
common organic chemicals in the United States during the past few
years, IV INTRODUCTION TO THE SERIES university laboratories have
had no option but to prepare their own supplies. At the University
of Illinois, for instance, a special study has been made of this
field, and methods for the production of various substances have
been investigated. As a result, reliable methods and directions
have been developed for producing the materials in one-half to five
pound lots. Such work as Illinois has done is now being given an
even more extensive scope at theResearch Laboratory of the Eastman
Kodak Company. It is felt that the results from these various
laboratories should be available to all chemists and it is hoped
that they eventually will be completely incorporated in these
pamphlets. The organic chemicals herein discussed have been quite
arbitrarily chosen, being those which have been needed in various
research laboratories in the last years and for which the
directions happen now to be ready for publication...
