Abstract
THE reagents devised by Girard and Sandulesco1 for the separation of ketonic substances are widely employed in a variety of fields, especially for the isolation of ketonic steroids. Although the conditions under which these reagents are normally employed are comparatively mild, it has now been shown that, in certain cases, etherification of reactive alcohols can occur.
