Title | Paper, 'Action of ethylene chlorhydrine upon the bases of the pyridine series and on quinoline' by [Karl] Adolph Wurtz |
Date | 1882 |
Description | Wurtz writes: 'According to the constitution which is generally attributed to the bases of the pyridine series, they must be considered as tertiary bases, their nitrogen being united to the carbon by three atomicities. The action which alcoholic iodides exert upon these bases, as shown by Hofmann, confirms this idea, which is equally applicable to quinoline. I thought that the reaction of glycol chlorhydrin and similar compounds upon the pyridine bases and upon quinoline should produce oxygenated quaternary bases. It is known, in fact, that such a base, neurine, results from the action of ethylene chlorhydrin upon trimethylamine.'
