53. The series of six possible isomeric ditolylmethanes have been synthesized and an attempt is presently being made to achieve total glc resolution, which has proved exceedingly difficult. A photolability study similar to that performed on the six isomeric dimethylbiphenyls is contemplated once resolution is achieved which will allow us to set limits on the homogeneity of the ‘ditolylmethanes obtained from 36 and 37’.
