Abstract

em^.. If, however, a similar compound is obtained from a reaction mixture containing the C2OH260 compound its properties suggest C25H340, i.e. it derives from the C2oH260 compound.SUMMARY 1. Oppenauer oxidation of vitamin A using diethyl ketone as hydrogen acceptor results in a complex mixture from which a compound C2OH260 (isomeric with retinene2) can be isolated.It gives an oxime, m.p. 175177o, isolated by previous workers.2. The C20H260 compound, is reducible in vitro and in vivo, but the product differs from vitamin A2.3. The Oppenauer oxidation seems to proceed via retinenel, C20H280, which can either be further dehydrogenated to C20H,60 or can condense with diethyl ketone, to a ketone C25H360.Condensationof the C20H260 compound with diethyl ketone to yield C2,H..O is not excluded.4. Vitamin A acetate is not dehydrogenated directly to vitamin A2.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
