Summary
The specificity of the reactions which are presumed to be specific for acid radicals have been tested in model experiments by means of sulphatation, phosphorylation and carboxylation of structures being rich in vic-glycol groups. The non-specifity of all routine reactions for sulphate groups is proved because they are positive also for phosphate groups. Two other reactions were modified resulting in specifity for sulphate and phosphate groups, respectively.
Résumé
L'auteur a étudié la spécificité des réactions considérées spécifiques des radicaux acides sur des modèles obtenus par sulfatation, phosphatation et carboxylation des diverses structures riches en groupes vic-glycols.
L'auteur a ainsi démontré que toutes les réactions routinaires pour la visualisation des groupes sulfat sont aspécifiques, étant donné leur positivité aussi envers les radicaux phosphate.
L'auteur démontre, au contraire, la spécificité de deux réactions, respectivement pour les radicaux sulfat et phosphate, déjà connues mais oubliées, et en propose des modifications.
