W. P. S. Estimation of Thiophene. P. E. Spielmann and S. P. Schotz. (J. Soc. Chem. Id., 1919,38,188-189T.)-The authors have examined various met-hods whioh have been suggested for the estimation of thiophene in benzene, and recommend the following modifioations of the basic mercuric sulphate and acetate methods : Basic Mercu/l.ic Szi,&hate Method.-Two C.C.of the benzene and 20 C.C. basic mercuric sulphate solution (sulphuric acid 20 c.c., water 100 ox., and mercuric oxide 5 grms.) axe shaken in a closed tube for three hours; the white precipitate which is formed is collected, washed with hot water, dried at 110" C., and weighed.The weight multiplied by 0.0757 gives the amount of thiophene in 2 C.C. of benzene. Basic Mercuric Acetate Method.---Ten O.C. of the benzene and 4 grms. of baaic mercuric aaetafe (mercuric oxide, 1 part, glacial aceti0 said, 2 parts, the mixture b~iing filtered and the salt washed with ether) are heated on a water-bath under a, reflux condenser for fifteen minutes ; after cooling, the precipitate i8 collected, washed with water, dried at 100" C., and weighed.The weight is multiplied by 0.07516 to obtain the oorresponding amount of thiophene. w.
