Various thiopurins have been obtained by E. Fischer (Ber., 1898, 31, p. 431), principally by acting with potassium sulphydrate on chlorinated purin compounds.
2.6.8-Trithiopurin is obtained from the corresponding trichlorpurin and potassium sulphydrate. It forms a light yellow
mass
  which carbonizes on
heating
 . It is almost insoluble in water and
alcohol
 ; but readily dissolves in dilute solutions of the
caustic
  alkalis and of
ammonia
 .
Much
work
  has been done by J. Tafel (Ber., 1900, seq.) on the electrolytic reduction of the members of the purin
group
 . The substance to be reduced is dissolved in a 5075% solution of sulphuric acid and placed in a porous
cell
  containing a lead cathode, the whole being then placed in a 2o6o% solution of sulphuric acid in the anode
cell
 . It is found that xanthine and its homologues take up four atoms of hydrogen per
molecule
  and give rise to the so-called desoxy-compounds, which are stronger bases than the
original
  substances. Uric acid takes up six hydrogen atoms per
molecule
  and gives purone, C5HEN402, and it is apparently the oxygen atom attached to the carbon atom number 6 which is replaced by hydrogen, since when purone is heated with baryta, two molecules of carbon dioxide are liberated for one of purone. Consequently purone must contain two urea residues, which necessitates the presence of the> CO groups in positions 2 and 8. (F. G. P. *)
