Potter and Noyes obtained themelting point of 118-119° for d-campholytolactone only after re-peated recrystallizations . The small quantity of 1-campholytolac-tone with which the writer worked made numerous recrystallizations impossible. A sample of fairly pure d-campholytolactone gave amelting point of 114-115°. A mixture of this sample of d-campho-lytolactone with 1-campholytolactone gave the same melting point 0 3114-115 . This agrees with Blanc who evidently prepared r-campho- 1 . Ann. 316, 227. 2.

On hydrolysis 1-campholytolactone gave a hydroxy-acid havinga specific rotation, ( &\ )^4° = °, and m. p. = 117 - 118°.This shows the acid to be 1-cis-dihydrohydroxycampholytic acid.

Eerichte 33, 2938 . The 1-campholytolactone is formed from isodihydroaminocampho-lytic acid by a Walden inversion on the tertiary asymmetric carbonatom just as d-trans-dihydrohydroxycampholytic acid is formed fromdihydrcaminocampholytic acid. In the former case, how
