Diehl7 were unable to obtain a definite compound from bromine and pyridine in aqueous solution but in chloroform solution they obtained a compound which appeared to have the formula CsHsN-Br.!. On standing this tetrabromide lost bromine and passed into a compound which analysis showed to have the formula CsHsN'Br^ Barthe8 obtained from pyridine and bromine a perbromide to which he assigned the formula C5H5N-Br. Trowbridge and Diehl also prepared perbromides of salts of pyridine. By passing bromine into an aqueous solution of pyridine hydrobromide they obtainedtwo perbromides, one of which contained 41.95% of bromine and the other 33.66% of bromine that was present as perbromide bromine. The latter compound melted at 93 and the formula C5H5N-HBr-Br was assigned to it. The perbromide containing 41.95% of perbromide bromine was assumed to be a mixture of C5HsN-HBr'Br2and C5H6N-HBr-Br. These investigators also prepared a perbromide in aqueous solution to which they assigned the formula 05 6· 2 20. It melted at118-120 and contained 67.96% of perbromide bromine. In the work which is reported here it was found that glacial acetic acid was a much better solvent than water for the preparation of these per-bromides because both reactants (bromine and pyridine hydrobromide) were quite soluble in this mediumand the perbromides which were formed, while very soluble in warm acetic acid, were quite insoluble in the cold acid. From one mole of bromine and one mole of pyridine hydrobromide in acetic acid solution there was obtained a perbromide that melted at 132-134. The yield was 95-97% of the theoretical based on the formation of 06 5· 2. While this formula requires 50% perbromide bromine content, there was found only 47% of perbromide bromine in the product that melted at 132-134.One mole of pyridine hydrobromideand one-half mole of bromine in glacial acetic acid solution gave a perbromide that melted at 101-103 and had 39.7% of perbromide bromine. The perbromide bromine in the compound of the formula CsHeN-HBr-Br amounts to 33.3%. The authors are not able as yet to assign satisfactory formulas to these perbromides but it is hoped that further work will throw some light on this subject. An attempt was made to use pyridine hydrochloride insteadof pyridine hydrobromide for the preparation ofthese perbromides but it was found that the yields from the hydrochloride were considerably lower than those from the hydrobromide and that the perbromides of pyridine hydrochloride were very deliquescent and quite difficult to handle. When these perbromides were heated at 230-250 under a reflux conden-ser, there was a vigorous evolution of hydrogen bromide with the formation of 3-bromo-and 3, 5-dibromopyridine. The perbromide containing 47%
