Schiitzenberger

The earliest preparation of cellulose acetate is credited to Schiitzenberger in 1865. The method used was to heat the cotton with acetic anhydride in sealed tubes at 130-140°C. The severe reaction conditions led to a white amorphous polymer but the product would have been severely degraded and the process difficult to control. Subsequent studies made by Liebermann, Francimont, Miles, the Bayer Company and by other workers led to techniques for controlled acetylation under less severe conditions. 

The amazingly rapid development of the science of radioactivity is largely due to the brilliant work of M. Pierre Curie and his wife, Mme. Marie Sklodowska Curie. The former was born in Paris on May 15, 1859, and was educated by his cultured parents. Many happy hours were spent on excursions to the country, and thus this city child grew up in intimate contact with nature, collecting plants and animals and enjoying them in quiet contemplation. While serving as director of the laboratory under Paul Schiitzenberger at the School of Physics and Chem-...

List of Chlorine Compounds Chlorine Acetate. CH3 COOCl mw 94.49, exists only in soln. This dk-red soln is unstable and frequently explodes when warmed from -70 to -20° it contains both chlorine monoxide (C120) chlorine acetate. It was prepd by MacKenzie et al(Ref 2) according to the method of Schiitzenberger by addg C102 to acetic anhydride. This soln cannot be distilled without expln and is reported likely to explode even without warming it Refs l)Beil 2, 170 318 2)J.C. 

It may also be obtained by evaporating the mixed carbonyl derivatives, obtained by Schiitzenberger s method, with concentrated hydriodic acid, and recrystallising from benzene.
