The catalytic effect of aqueous acetic acid solutions on the racemisation of trans-αγ-dimethylglutaconic acid at 100°C

The Peculiar properties of the compounds of the type HO₂C·CH:CH·CH₂·CO₂H which caused so much interest among early investigators were- 1. The existence of two forms, one more stable than the other. 2. The ready manner in which both forms pass into the same anhydride (hydroxyl-anhydride). 3. That...
