1) IT was shown in the first paper of this series [Verkade et al., 1933] that with two healthy subjects (V. and v. d. L.) considerable quantities of undecanedioic acid were excreted in the urine after administration of triundecylin. In the human organism the terminal methyl group of the undecoic acid, the component acid of triundecylin, is thus oxidised-and as we shall see later, very readily-to a carboxyl group. The term c-oxidation was introduced by us for this type of oxidation CH3. (CH2)9. COOH 0 HOOC. (CH2)9.COOH.
