of commercial ether and dried
in vacuo.
No. 3; The same conditions as in No. 2 except that purified ether was used.
No. 4; The same conditions as in No. 2 except that commercial ethyl acetate was used instead of ether.
No. 5; The same conditions as in No. 4 except that purified ethyl acetate was used.
No. 6; 3 μM of methionine was reacted with 2, 4-dinitrofluorobenzene and the reaction mixture was extracted with commercial ethyl acetate and then the solution was dried

nine, was prepared by hydrolysis of methyl α-methoxalyl-γ-methyl-mercaptopropionate with dilute hydrochloric acid.
2. L-Methionine was obtained from ketomethionine by heart muscle transaminase in an yield of 46 per cent based on the ketomethio-nine used.
3. The effect of peroxide contained in commercial solvents on the determination of ketomethionine or methonine was described.
