Abstract

Vitamin BT has been isolated as a pure, crystalline substance from liver and whey. Analytical data and production of trimethylamine on alkaline degradation suggested that vitamin BT might be identical with carnitine. A careful comparison of the properties of derivatives and of reactions of the two substances established conclusively that vitamin BT is carnitine.
