OF THE MORE THAN 340O EASTMAN ORGANIC CHEMICALS
Bargain . . .
, CH3
Methylcholanthrene (Eastman 4383) is acarcinogen. It's important, but the worldrequires no great quantity of it. We makeit in a 7-step synthesis that takes 2 or 3months because each step must be com-pleted before the next one is started. It'snot the sort of item with which one goes"on stream." That's why, even thoughwe start from relatively inexpensive ma-terials, we must currently price the prod-uct at about $8 per gram. People thus setfree to devote their time more directlytoward their research objectives regardit as a bargain.
Smelling with alarm. . .
CH3(CH2)3SH
n-Butyl Mercaptan (Eastman 437), "syn-thetic skunk oil" in lay language, is ahighly purified compound as we supplyit, much in demand by researchers inthese days of important industrial adven-tures in mercaptan chemistry. Neverthe-less, a minor but interesting fraction ofour output goes to people who want it forits prodigious stench alone. For "sound-ing" alarms in mines too noisy for audi-tory signals, a little bit of it introducedinto the air lines has been found to pene-trate quickly into the inner conscious-ness of every man-jack. We also found a
small market for n-butyl mercaptan indriving rats offproperty, on the principlethat the rodents associate it with their
natural enemy, the skunk. The circum-stances under which the aroma of n-butylmercaptan would be preferred to rats areprobably very special.

2,6-Dichioroquinonechioroimide (Eastman2483) is a reagent used in testing forphenol in stream pollution investiga-tions. We'll be glad to send you a proce-dural abstract that tells how it will detectas little as one part of phenol per billionparts of water. It works by formation ofan intensely blue compound which hap-pens to be the base of:
C1O=§3=N.jONa
ClSodium 2, 6-Dichlorobenzeneindophenol(Eastman 3463), a reagent much used forthe determination of ascorbic acid invegetables before canning. If you're inthe food business rather than the pollu-tion control business, we shall be equallyhappy to send you an abstract of the pro-cedure described for that.
Don't forget, there are more than 3400other organics available to you fromEastman. Chances are the ones you needare in our List No. 37. If you don't havea copy, there's one waiting for you atDistillation Products Industries, EastmanOrganic Chemicals Department, Roch-ester 3, N. Y. (Division ofEastman KodakCompany).
