The title page indicates that this thesis was submitted "in partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree Bachelor of Science with special attainments in Chemistry." Hence there were t wo unfinished steps in a total investigation of hydrazidomalonic acid as an resolving reagent for optically active c arbonyls, namely; the isolation and identification of hydrazidomalonic acid, and the complete isolation of dl-3-methylcyclohexylidenhydrazonomalonic acid. These steps must be accomplished before resolution can be attempted, and since our interest in hydrazidomalonic acid is its use in resolution, the isolation of these two compounds was undertaken.
