Nicotine Wasted In Tobacco Products Could Be Utilized By EMZABF.TII NAPIER. Chapel tljll. July 15.?A large percentage of the nicotine Hint is wasted annually in the mn-ufac turc of tobacco could he utili/cd as a raw material for the synthesis of many new and interesting chemical compounds. This is the opinion of Dr. A. L. Alexander, research chemist for ttic naval research Inflatory, and Dr. R. \V. Bost. head of the University of North Carolina chemistry depart ment. who have described their ex periments with four new derivatives of nicotine in a chapter in a vol ume. "Studies in Science." just pub lished by the University Press. Edited by Dr. W. C. Coker. Kenan research professor and former head ot the university botany department, this book is one of the 17 Sosquicen tennial publications which describe the research and scholarly work of the various departments of the Uni versit al Chapel Hill. Twenty Per Cent Wasted. In Dr. Alexander's and Dr. Host's chapter on "Some New Derivatives of Nicotine." they poVt out that in one season just before the war North Carolina produced 5l7.210.nno pounds of tobacco which resulted in a loss of 103,442 pounds (II is estimated that 20 per cent of the tobacco is wasted in manufacture.) Estimating that 1 per cent of (hat waste material is nicotine, the authors fpiure the nicotine obtainable from that one crop amounted to 1,034, 420 pounds. "This does not hike into consider- j | ntion the waste represented by the! ; stalks left in the fields after liar- j' j vesting." they pointed out. "The chief uses of ricotinc at present are as an insecticide and in the inantl- !1 facturc of nicotine acid and nico- j1 tinamide." Dr. Alexander and Dr. Host then1: described in detail their experiments with four new derivatives ?i"d indi- | cated their pharmacologic;!! proper- i ties would be reported later. In j addition to nicotine acid, nicotinyl \ chloride, nicotinyl chloride hydro- ,1 chloride, the new derivatives are i nkotlnanllide. nicotinyl phenclidide. ] phcryl nicotinnte and diethylamin oethyl nicotinnte. Much Nicotine Lost. In a sumonnry they pointed nut that tobacco affords an abundant supply of waste material in the form of stems and stalks worthy of chem ical study and that the amount of nicotine derivable from waste to bacco is enormous. "At the present j time rieotine is the chief chemical ; compound obtained from tobacco." they said. In all there are SI chapters in the handsomely bound volume dealing with up-to-the-minute resear.hes in the various scientific fields. Most of (hem are technical studies, hut some are of interest to the layman, such as "Average Dietary Intakes in Two North Cnrol'ra Counties" by Dr. D F. Milam, and "The Venereal Dis ease Problem in the United States in World War II." by Dr. William L. Fleming.
