TRIOXANE as a «OWfïé pf Anhydrous Formaldehyde?

Τ TE£Rii's a new chemical which may -*- •*• solve s o m e p r o b l e m s in organic synthesis, particularly those where yield and quality of p r o d u c t are of g r e a t importance. It is a formaldehyde

p o l y m e r — a special form of formalde­ hyde which m a y be used to carry out many reactions heretofore considered impracticable or impossible with for­ maldehyde or its usual polymers.
