Ethers of iso-glycerin, or of homologues of iso-glycerin, appear to
occur. Iso-glycerin has this structure:
C(OH)_{2}
CH
CH_{3}
It exists in its ethers, but cannot be isolated, and should be resolved
into:
COOH + H_{2}O
CH_{2}
CH_{3}
Ethers of iso-glycerin, or ethers of homologues of iso-glycerin, yield
no glycerin when saponified.--_Chemical News_.
