ON THE ESTERS OF ETHYLENE-GLYCOL-ARSENOUS ACID

Abstract

It was established that by reacting ethylene glycol with arsenic trichloride in an absolute ether medium in the presence of pyridine, the chloroanhydride of ethylene-glycol-arsenous-acid and the full ethylene glycol ester of arsenous acid may be obtained. A simple and convenient method was worked out for producing the ethylene-glycol ester of arsenous acid by way of the reaction of ethylene glycol with arsenous oxide. The bromination of the ethylene-glycol ester of arsenous acid was studied. By this reaction, the bromoanhydride, with structure (-CH2OAsBr2)2, and diethylene-glycol-arsenous acid were isolated. Cyclic mixed esters were synthetized, and their properties and reactions described.
