-
Benzene from which every trace of thiophene has not been eliminated cannot be transformed into cyclohexane.
-
To a small portion of this solution add slight excess of sodium carbonate, evaporate to dryness on the water-bath, dissolve in 5-10 c.c. pure sulphuric acid, add 2 drops saturated copper sulphate solution, place in a test-tube and heat in a boiling water-bath for 2 minutes, cool, add 2 or 3 drops of the alcoholic thiophene and warm gently.
-
This space is nearly filled with benzole (boiling-point 80°C.; pure benzole, free from thiophene must be employed for the purpose, otherwise the boiling-point gradually and perceptibly rises in the course of time), and to the tubulure is fitted a long glass tube, some 2 metres long and about 0.75 cm. diameter, serving as a condensing tube (a tube half this length if provided with a condensing bulb at the centre will be equally efficient).
-
Alcoholic thiophene solution (0.15 c.c. in 100 c.c.).

In the study, frozen brain sections from people who died with Alzheimer's were stained using two LCPs/LCOs: pentamer formyl thiophene acetic acid (pFTAA) and polythiophene acetic acid (PTAA).
