Details of Patent GB232612
Process for the manufacture of organic arsenic compoundsAbstract:
Metallic derivatives of 3 : 31-diamino- 4 : 41-dihydroxyarsenobenzene - N - methylenesulphonic acid are prepared by combining a soluble salt of zinc, magnesium or cadmium with 3 : 31-diamino-4 : 41-dihydroxyarsenobenzene hydrochloride before or after its conversion into the sodium methylenesulphonate. According to the examples (1) molecular proportions of zinc chloride and the diaminodihydroxyarsenobenzene hydrochloride are mixed in methyl alcohol solution and either one or two molecular proportions of sodium formaldehyde-bisulphite then added; the yellow powder whch precipitates on standing is purified by adding acetic acid to its aqueous solution and washing the product with alcohol: instead of zinc chloride, compounds of magnesium or cadmium may be employed; (2) an alcoholic solution of one to two molecular proportions of zinc chloride is added to an aqueous solution of sodium 3 : 3 -diamino-4 : 41-dihydroxyarsenobenzene-N-methylenesulphonate and the precipitate washed with alcohol. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) describes also the preparation of the corresponding copper and silver compounds. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.Publication Date:
