IN 1947, a procedure was developed 1 for the determination of pyrimidine nucleoside in which bromination and prolonged acid hydrolysis precede the performance of Bial reaction. More recently ...

The oxidation of the malonic acid by the bromate(V) ions is catalyzed by manganese(II) ions, and manganese(III) ions are assumed to be produced as intermediates. However, detectable levels of Mn(III) ...
