Summary

An examination of the spectra of some volatile carbonyl semicarbazones indicated that only compounds containing vicinal carbonyl groups formed semicarbazones which absorbed at 270 nm. This observation was used for the quantitative estimation of diacetyl. The presence of both acetaldehyde and acetoin did not interfere with the estimation of diacetyl by this method.
