PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
The Manufacture and Production of certain Highly Oxidized
Organic Bodies.
I, ALBERT VERLEY, of 7, Quai de Seine, Courbevoie, near Paris, in the Republic
of France, Electrician, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows.-
My invention has for its object the manufacture and production of certain
highly oxidized bodies by the action of ozone on organic bodies contain-
ing double bonds; '
"such as the alcohols, azetones, terpenic aldehydes, and
the like The active oxygen of the ozone becomes fixed. The resulting bodies
are soluble in water They are probably pei-oxides answering to the formula
usually in combination with the elements of water
These bodies, which have important medicinal properties, are of a thick oily
consistency with a somewhat bitter burning taste and, if suddenly heated, decom-
pose with an explosion.
As an example I will take the body formed by the action of ozone
terpinol:-
on
100 g of terpinol in 500 gr. of water are subjected to the action of a current
of ozonized air for several hours. The temperature of the mass ruses, and, after
a certain time, the whole is changed into a clear liquid. A little carbonic acid
1s given off in the process.
The ozo-terpinol can be isolated in a pure state. by extracting if from its
solution by ether. The ether is carefully dried over chloride of calcium and then
evaporated off in acuo in the cold The substance that remams 18 a viscous, 01
thick oily, substance which is easily decomposable at ordinary temperatures. Its
analysis corresponds with the formula CHO, with more or less water in
addition; terpinol having the formula C₁HO
1
A somewhat similar body can be obtained in the same way from methyl
heptenone and from citral
A striking characteristic of these bodies 18 that they give off their active
oxygen again in the presence of even a trace of acetate of lead.

I, ALBERT VERLEY, of 7, Quai de Seine, Courbevoie, near Paris, in the Republic
of France Electrician; do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement.-
-
My invention has for its object the manufacture and production of certain 5
highly oxidised organic bodies by the action of ozone on organic bodies con-
taining "double bonds" such as the alcohols, acetones, terpenic aldehydes and
the like. The active oxygen of the ozone becomes fixed. The resulting bodies
are soluble in water They are probably per-oxides answering to the formula
usually in combination with the elements of water.
These bodies, which have important medicinal properties, are of a thick oily
consistency with a somewhat bitter burning taste and, if suddenly heated, decom-
pose with an explosion.
As an example I will take the body formed by the action of ozone
terpineol.
оп
100 gr. of terpineol in 500 gr. of water are subjected to the action of a current
of ozonized air for several hours The temperature of the mass rises, and, after
a certain time, the whole is changed into a clear liquid. A little carbonic acid
18 given off in the process.
The ozo-tei pineol can be isolated in a pure state by extracting it from its
solution by ether The ether is carefully dried over chloide of calcium and then
evaporated off гасио in the cold The substance (the ozo-terpineol) that
remains, is a viscous, 01 thick oily, substance which 18 easily decomposable at
oidinary temperatures Its analysis corresponds with the formula C₁₁₁О, with
more or less water in addition terpinol having the formula C₁₁80.
A somewhat similar body can be obtained in the same way from methyl
heptenone and from citial.
A striking characteristic of these bodies is that they give off their active
oxygen again in the presence of even a trace of acetate of lead
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim 18:
1. The manufacture and production of highly oxidized organic bodies by
causing ozone to act upon alcohols, acetones, terpenic aldehydes or the like
organic bodies containing double bonds substantially as herein before described
2 The manufacture and production of a highly oxidized organic body by
causing ozone to act upon terpineol and isolating the ozo-terpineol substantially
as herein before described
3 The manufacture and production of a highly oxidized organic body by
causing ozone to act upon methyl heptenone and isolating the ozo-methyl
heptenone substantially as herein before described

page_text: 4 The manufacture and production of a highly oxidized organic body by
causing ozone to act upon citral and isolating the ozo-citral substantially as
herein before described.
