Iodide of allyle, as is well known, combines directly with two equivalents of metallic mercury, a well-defined crystalline compound being formed. Would it be possible to make the same body combine with two equivalents of hydrogen, and thus to open a direct passage from the allylic to the propylic series of compounds?Indirectly this transformation has been already effected by M. Berthelot through the intervention of propylene gas.
