for amino acids. It has further also been found that an hydroxyl-group in
para-position to a nitrogen atom is not methylated by diazomethane, as for
example in the cases of y-pyridone, chelidamic and cuminaminic acids
[Pechmann, 1895, Meyer, 1906, 1 and 2]. These substances yield unchanged
y-pyridone, the dimethyl ester of chelidamic acid and the methyl ester of
methoxy-cuminaminic acid.
Meyer expresses the influence of the nitrogen atom on the hydroxyl group
by dotted lines, but emphasises a,t the same time as follows: "das Wesen
