Sinapine acid sulphate, CjgH240jN. HSO4. SHjO, crystallises in leaflets, m.p. 127° (188°, dry). The thiocyanate, CigHj OjN. SCN. HjO, forms pale yellow needles, m.p. 178° iodide, m.p. 185-6°. When the thiocyanate is warmed with alkalis there is formed choline and sinapic acid, the acid was investigated by Remsen and Coale, and...

Born in Georgia in 1867, Herty was the son of a pharmacist and originally planned to enter his father s profession. After graduating from the University of Georgia with a Ph.B. in 1886, however, he decided to undertake advanced study in chemistry under Ira Remsen at The Johns Hopkins University. Herty received his Ph.D. from Hopkins in 1890, and, after a year at the Georgia State Experiment Station, joined the faculty of the University of Georgia, where he remained for the next decade. During that period he took a leave of absence to pursue postdoctoral work at the universities of Berlin and Zurich. While in Berlin, he attended the lectures of the noted synthetic dye chemist Otto Witt.

Rudolf Fittig, 1835-1910. Professor of organic chemistry at Tubingen and Strasbourg. He discovered the lactones, and devised a general method for synthesizing homologs of benzene. With Erdmann he established the constitution of phenan-threne, and with Remsen he proved the constitution of the alkaloid, piperme. Sir William Ramsay was one of his students. 

Sir William Ramsay studied at Heidelberg under Bunsen and also at Tubingen under Fittig, and it was at the latter place that he met his life-long American friend, Ira Remsen (49). Although Ramsay later acquired perfect command of the German language, his first words to... 

Ira Remsen, 1846-1927. Distinguished American chemist and professor of organic chemistry. President of The Johns Hopkins University. Author of excellent textbooks. Founder and editor of the American Chemical Journal. Friend of Sir William Ramsay. He investigated the composition of commercial saccharin.
