[Eng. dib (2), s., and stone (q. v.).] "I have seen little girls exercise whole hours together, IMG:content-2433.png:[blocks in formation] Chem. A base formed by the union of two mole- cules of butyric aldehyde with one molecule of ammonia. It is obtained along with tetra butyral- dine by treating normal butyric aldehyde with alco- holic ammonia for two months at 30° or one day at 100°. By dry distillation it yields para conine, an alkaloid having the properties of conine. di-ca-çious, a. [Lat. dicax (gen it. dicacis)= talkative; dico to say.] Talkative, saucy. *di-ca çious-ne , s.

Heated with hydriodic acid, HI, it is converted into isopropyl iodide; by sodium amalgam into iso- propyl alcohol. By oxidation with chromic acid mixture it is oxidized into chloracetic acid and beta dich lor acetone, CHCI-CO CHCI. (2) Unsym- metrical, CH2Cl-CHCICH2(OH). Obtained by the addition of chlorine to allyl alcohol, or of hypochlor- ous acid to allyl chloride, CH2=CH-CH2Cl. It is a liquid, boiling at 182°; is converted into allyl alcohol by sodium, and by fuming nitric acid it is oxidized into dichlor-propionic acid. di-chlör-ide, s .
