The Stability of Rotenone in a Phenol-oil Solution
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 July 2009
Extract
It is known that, in solutions of some organic solvents such as pyridine, chloroform, ethylene dichloride and acetone, rotenone changes by oxidation to various derivatives, giving the solution a characteristic yellow colour (Jones & Haller, 1931). There is an accompanying loss in toxicity. Now that various intermediate solvents for rotenone in oils are being studied, it becomes of interest to know the stability of rotenone in these solutions.
