The Oxidation of Phenidone in Alkaline Solution

Paper presented at the Congres International de Science Photographique held in Paris, September 1965.

Abstract

Although it is now recognized that in the presence of hydroquinone and sulphite, Phenidone does not oxidize further than the l electron stage to a free radical, oxidation in alkaline solution in the absence of hydroquinone. results in a series of highly coloured products. The separation of these products by chromatography and electrophoresis is described, derivatives of Phenidone being investigated as well as Phenidone itself.
