The sym-tetraphenylethane (V) was readily characterized by comparison of the meltingpoint with that of a mixture with an authentic specimen. The 1, 2-dinitro-l, 2-diplienylethane (VI) decomposed over a considerable range (224-240) when attempts were made to determine its melting point in a capillary tube. It melted with decompositionat 231-233 on the Maquenne block. This molecule also contains two similar asymmetric carbon atoms and hence may exist in meso and racemic modifications. Both of these forms had been prepared previouslyby Schmidt3 and by Wieland4 by treating stilbene with nitrogen dioxide. no2 no2 c6h5ch= CHC6H5+ 2NO,-* c6h5ch—chc6h5This preparation was repeated and the two forms isolated. One form (-isomer) melted with decomposition at 230-233 and the other form 03-isomer) melted at 154-155. The/3-form could be converted to the-form by heating a sample just above the melting point for a minute and allowing it to resolidify. No data are available to indicate which of these forms is meso and which is racemic.
