I. ISOLATION FROM A MOLLUSC; IDENTIFICATION AND DISTRIBUTION

Abstract

2-Aminoethanesulfinic acid was isolated in pure form from a mollusc. The isolated compound was identical with synthetc 2-aminoethanesulfinic acid, as shown by comparison on the paper chromatography, paper electro-phoresis and other properties.
The distribution of 2-aminoethanesulfinic acid in some marine-livings was also investigated.
