Abstract
Ball, Goodwin, and Morton (1946) have reported that vitamin A1 in contact with solid manganese dioxide is transformed slowly into a substance which displays spectroscopic properties of retinene1. The latter is known to be the precursor of vitamin A1 in the rhodopsin cycle of the retinal rods. The synthetic product is here referred to as "retinene1."Keywords
