  • Reactions of I-(α-pyridyl)-3-buten-1-o1

    Creator:
    Whitman, James Edgar
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this project was to study the reactions of 1-(α-pyridyl)-3-buten-1-ol (compound I) and to determine whether or not the products of some of its reactions are quinolizinium salts. Reaction of compound I with bromine or iodine yields halide salts (when no external cooling is applied) instead of the...

    Shii, Chou Tou
    Abstract:
    Hybrids with abnormal development were obtained when particular genotypes of Phaseolus vulgaris L. were crossed. The phenotypic aberrations of the F₁s included retarded growth, chlorosis of the trifoliate leaves and the formation of adventitious roots on the hypocotyls. The expression of the abnormalities was dependent on the temperature. At high...
