Title: FINAL REPORT, JANUARY 20, 1948-SEPTEMBER 14, 1959

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4181130

A large number of organic compounds was prepared. Emphasis was placed on investigations on macromolecular nucleic acids, relatively low molecular weight nucleic acid, related compounds, and organic phosphorus compounds. Data are included from investigations of base-catalyzed alcoholvsis of ribonucleic acids, the action of aqueous and anhydrous hydrogen fluoride on nucleic acids, the oxidation of nucleic acids by means of the chromium trioxidepyridine complex, relatively low molecular weight nucleic acid-related compounds and organic phosphorus compounds in general, the preparation of deoxy sugars, the chemistry of deoxyribose, the halogeration of nucleosidea and nucleotides, the degradation of adenosine-5-triphosphoric acid in alkaline media, neutral esters of polyphosphoric acids, the alcoholysis of inorganic cyclic metaphosphates, the reductive dearylation of phosphorus esters, and miscellaneous experiments.
