โฆ Synopsis
Benzyl alcohol is oxidized by xenon trioxide in acidic or neutral solution to benzaldehyde and benzoic acid. T h e course of the reaction was followed by gas chromatography. Thin-layer chromatography was used to identify the products of oxidation.

A series of alcohols, aliphatic and aromatic, was oxidized with xenon trioxide. Oxidation to carbon dioxide and water was effected by adding a known excess of xenon trioxide to the reaction mixture. T h e excess reagent was determined iodometrically. Of the alcohols tested only triphenylcarbinol re
A gas chromatographic method has been developed for the determination of caffeine in plasma. A standard response curve relating signal-height ratios of caffeine to hexobarbital permits a quantitative estimation of the amount of caffeine present. The method is more rapid and sensitive than any previo
