Leukol oder Weissöl" (3. White oil [in Greek] or white oil [in German]). From p. 68: "Diese dritte Basis habe ich Leukol oder Weissöl genannt, weil sie keine farbigen Reactionen zeigt." (This third base I've named leukol or white oil because it shows no color reactions.)
↑ Initially, Hoffmann thought that Runge's Leukol and Gerhardt's Chinolein were distinct. (See: Hoffmann, August Wilhelm (1843) "Chemische Untersuchungen der organischen Basen im Steinkohlen-Theeröl" (Chemical investigations of organic bases in coal tar oil), Annalen der Chemie und Pharmacie, 47: 37-87; see especially pp. 76-78.) However, after further purification of his Leukol sample, Hoffmann determined that the two were indeed identical. (See: (Editor) (1845) "Vorläufige Notiz über die Identität des Leukols und Chinolins" (Preliminary notice of the identity of leukol and quinoline), Annalen der Chemie und Pharmacie, 53: 427-428.)
