products that were insoluble in all common solvents and no molecular weights have been deteriiiincd. The yields of I, I1 and I11 are 40, 20 and 4OCi;, respectively, based on the thiophene reacted, wheii two moles of thiophene was treated with one mole of formaldehyde and three moles of arnmnniuru chloride.

I t tliffers in that free amine bases ant1 forma1dt.hyde appear not to react and that primary and secondary amine hydrochlorides do n(Jt react as rapidly as ammonium chloride. h preliniinary study of the reaction with thiophene derivatives indicates wide applicability. Full details of the reaction with such derivatives as 2- and 3-methylthiophene, 2-chlorothiophene, and 2-t-butylthiophene will be reported in a later coininunication.

follows: 0.3 i d . of an acid hydrolysate (1.13 mg. protein), 20 mg. of PIPSYLchloride, and excess sodiuin carbonate were shaken in a Folin tube a t 90’ for ten minutes. The walls were washed down, 5 mg. of labelled reagent added and the procedure repeated. One 1111. of ammonia was added.
