by means of a solution of anhydrous hydrogen chloride in ether. With carefully purified epoxy compounds, prepared by perbenzoic acid oxidation, this method was found to give results within 1% of the theoretical value. Nicolet and Poulter have shown that 9, 10-dihydroxystearic acid and 10-ketostearic acid do not interfere. We have found that the reagent does not react with either the double bond or the primary alcohol group of oleyl alcohol nor with the aliphatic, cyclic ether groups in dioxane and tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol. This specificity of reaction was especially valuable when pure epoxy compounds were not isolated, as in the epoxidation of triglycerides, and it was important to know what percentage of the iodinenumber reduction was due to the formation of oxirane derivatives.The decrease in ratio of oxirane ring formation to total oxidation (measured by iodine-number reduction) observed with triglycerides of increas-ing iodine number (Table I) is undoubtedly due to the presence of the more highly unsaturated constituents. An explanation of this phenomenon would be of considerable interest and further work is being done with this as the objective.
