Identification | (1) Triturate sample with an equal amount of camphor; the mixture liquefles. (2) Dissolve a small sample in 1ml of glacial acetic acid, add 6 drops of sulfuric acid and 1 drop of nitric acid; a red-brown color develops. (3) To 1g sample add 5ml of a solution of sodium hydroxide (1→10) and heat on a water bath; a colorless or light yellow liquid is obtained. To this liquid add 2 to 3 drops of chloroform, while warm, and shake; a yellow-green color develops. (4) The sample solution exhibits a maximum absorbance at the wavelength at 279+2 nm. |
