Some chemical and physiological properties of 3-indolylpyruvic acid

Abstract

The extent of mercapturic acid formation in the chlorobenzene series appears to be greatest with monochlorobenzene, and only little, if any, is formed by the polychlorobenzenes (Jondorf et al. 1955). In contrast, very little mercapturic acid is formed by the monochloronitrobenzenes but con- siderable amounts are formed by many polychloro- nitrobenzenes. SUMMARY
