The American Chemical Society—officers of local sections and

munication among all units of the Society.

Local Section Officers

The American Chemical Societyofficers of local sections and divisions and chapters of student affiliates Although the ACS is international in scope with members in nearly every country in the world, its principal efforts are directed to the service of chemists and chemical engineers in the United States. As one important means to this end it has established local sections. Each of the 164 ACS local sections has an assigned territory, and each member residing within such an area belongs to that section unless other arrangements are requested. The section or-

ganization now is so comprehensive that nearly 97% of all members in the United States are in section territory. A second means of service is the establishment of divisions. Divisions represent special interest areas within the broad fields of chemistry and chemical engineering. They have no geographical boundaries and any member may enroll in any division which interests him. The following directory listing is provided to assist and encourage com-

iReprints of this list are available on request to the Office of the Executive

Local sections serve members by providing programs of activities beneficial to chemistry and the chemical profession which are readily available in nearly every area of the country. They implement parts of national programs and serve as a means of effecting liaison between members and governing bodies of the Society (C&EN, Feb. 18, page 104). Exchanges of ideas among sections may lead to solutions to common problems and improved programs and services. Contact may be made through the appropriate local section secretary.

This problem is well suited to attack by proton NMR because each of the three possible iso­ meric structures differs in the arrangement of its protons and each will therefore give a characteristic and predictable NMR spectrum. The Varian A-60 NMR Spectrometer offers the most efficient means of obtaining the desired spectrum since it allows a pre-calibrated, highresolution spectrum to be obtained in a matter

nf ahnnt fi\/P miniitPQ

The Varian A-60 spectrum shown at the rigW demonstrates clearly that (A) is the correct struc ture for dichlorolevulinic acid. The observed signals are compatible with structure (A) be­ cause the a-Cri 2 signal which appears at δ = 3.1 ppm is split by a single adjacent proton which must be the β-Gti proton. The a-CH 2 signal is further complicated by the fact thai the two a-CH 2 protons are slightly non-equiva­ lent due to hindered rotation about the aC-/3C bond.The β-CH proton produces the triplet sig­ nal at δ = 4 . 9 ppm due to its coupling to the a-CH 2 protons. Finally, the tall peak at δ = 4 . 5 ppm is from the terminal -CH 2 CI group. Struc­ tures (B) and (C) are ruled out unequivocally since (B) contains a methyl ketone group which characteristically gives a sharp resonance a1 about δ=2, while (C) has a proton on a C-atom bound to two chlorine atoms and a carboxyl group which would be expected to give a signal at about δ=6. (t)We wish to thank Mr. Wilbur Shilling of Crown-Zellerbach, Camas, Washington for permission to discuss these results, (2)See Varian NMR Spectra Catalog, Nos. 6, 8, 59.

In addition to determining molecular struc­ tures, the Varian A-60 offers a rapid, non­ destructive means of identifying compounds, functional groups, isotopic substitution sites, and components of mixtures. It is extremely useful in the study of hydrogen bounding/chem­ ical kinetics, tautomeric equilibria, and the determination of total hydrogen content. Because it provides reproducible spectra on pre-calibrated charts, the easy-to-operate A-60 has made the valuable analytical capabilities of NMR practical for many routine applications in universities, government and industrial plants and laboratories.

Your most difficult problem will be not to build institutions, but to discover men. John Tyndall British physicist, 1873

If this basic truth could be raised to the ninetieth power by the years since its utterance . . it would scarcely overstate the intensity of the problem as it exists today. Yet men of talent and training . . men of real breadth and depth in management, in sales and in technical "know-how" are to be secured. This . . . we are proving consistently in the service of our clients. For more about "ESP" and its functions, may we .send you an explanatory brochure. A note from your secretary will bring it immediately.

Can you use this Solvay alkali in your work?

Solvay® Sodium Nitrite is a unique anti-corrosive agent. Quantities of 1/10 of 1% or less have provided complete protection against corrosion. Chief source of nitrous acid used in organic synthesis such as diazotization reactions. Reacts with hemoglobin to form a heat-stable red dye. This and its bacteriostatic properties make it useful as a preservative and color fixative for meat and fish products. Good heat transfer medium because of its low melting point (271°C) and good conductivity. USP grade quality. More than 99 % NaNCte. Very low in chlorides and metallic impurities. Write for detailed technical data and information on quantities and packaging.

Can you use this Solvay alkali in your work?

Solvay® Snowflake® Crystals (sesquicarbonate of soda) offers you many of the properties of sodium carbon­ ate, but with a lower pH. At room temperature, a 1% solution has a pH of about 9.8. Dissolves completely and quickly in water. Free-flowing in its original state. Mixed with other crystalline or granular materials, it gives free-flowing characteristics to the entire mixture. Provides excel­ lent water-softening action and adds detergent power to bath prepara­ tions and household cleaners. Works as acid neutralizer and buffer. Den­ sity makes it ideal for adding bulk1 to compounds. Write for detailed technical data and information on quantities and packaging.

Can you use this Solvay alkali in your work?

Solvay® Ammonium Bicarbonate can

be used in processing where mild alkalinity and high purity are desired, as a source of pure ammonia and carbon dioxide, and to add bulk (but not excessive weight) to various materials. It volatilizes quickly and completely at temperatures of 140°F and above, leaving no residue. Provides an exceptional blowing agent because it produces more than twice as much gas as sodium bicarbonate. Its low pH solutions have a high acid neutralizing value. Purity is remarkably high, allowing use in food products or as a reagent. Very low metal content. Write for detailed technical data and information on quantities and packaging.
