Abstract

1. Addition of boric acid to aromatic compounds (C, H, and O only) of various types containing the, dissolved in concentrated sulphuric acid generally produces a marked intensification or a change in colour of the fluorescence exhibited by them in daylight or under the lamp In several cases the solution of the compound in sulphuric acid is itself non-fluorescent and fluorescence appears on adding boric acid. 2. In a few cases even when this group is present no fluorescence effects are obtained with boric acid. 3. 3 : 7-Dihydroxy-flavone and its 7-methyl ether are exceptions in that they give positive reactions with boric acid even though the above group is absent. 4. The fluorescence effects obtained with boric acid could be utilised for the detection of the in various types of aromatic compounds containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen only. A positive reaction indicates the presence of this group but the converse is not true. 5. This reaction is more general than all the others described in literature and is also easily carried out.
