Popis: Two hundred pounds of pale crepe rubber have been destructively-distilled at atmospheric pressure. The distillate was fractionated and its components identified from C5 to C10, as shown in the table. Assuming that the Staudinger formula is correct, that the single bonds furthest from the double bonds are the weaker spots and that the formation of six-carbon rings is favored, it has been shown that nearly all of the compounds actually isolated could be predicted. The experimental results, together with forthcoming experimental data, are expected to be used to throw light upon the formula of the rubber molecule.
