Kuhn-Roth Method for C-methyl Determination

Name:
Kuhn-Roth Method for C-methyl Determination
Detailed information:
Oxidation of organic compounds with chromic and sulfuric acids in such a manner that the C-methyl groups are converted to acetic acid which can be assayed volumetrically. The method has been modified and extended (1) to saturated fatty acids and alcohols containing up to about 20 carbon atoms, and (2) to aliphatic long-chain compounds of very high molecular weight.
