NOVEMBER, 1963 Paper chromatograms developed in irrigants A and B and sprayed with indicator C revealed monoacetone D-glucose as the only sugar derivative; yield, 100%; m.p. 159-160°, undepressed when admixed with authentic sample; [ c Y ] ~ ~-12.3 D ( c 6.5, in water). Pure monoacetone D-glucose was obtained by dissolving the undried crystalline mass obtained above in 100 ml. of warm ethyl acetate. Incompletely dried monoacetone D-glucose preparations dissolve rapidly in a minimum of ethyl acetate, whereas thoroughly dried preparations are difficult to solvate. Cooling the ethyl acetate solution to 0" gave a pure white crystalline product in90yoyield; m.p. 161'; [ c Y ] ~ ~- 1D 1 . 6 ( ~ 2 . 5 , i n w a t e r ) .
