1852. W. Gregory, Handbk. Org. Chem., 245. It is probable that there exists a radical suberyle = C8H6O = Su.
1872. Watts, Index to Gmelin’s Handbk. Chem., Suberyl Hydride.
1874. Jrnl. Chem. Soc., XXVII. 935. On distilling suberic acid with lime he [sc. Boussingault] got a liquid boiling at 186°, which he called hydride of suberyl.
Hence Suberylamine, Suberylene, Suberylic a. (see quots.).
1894. Jrnl. Chem. Soc., LXVI. I. 160. Suberylamine, C7H13. NH2, may be obtained from suberoxime by reduction either with sodium in alcoholic solution or with sodium amalgam in alkaline aqueous solution. Ibid. A monhydric alcohol, C7H13.OH, which the author calls suberylic alcohol or suberol. Ibid., 266. Suberylene, C7H12, is obtained when a mixture of equal volumes of suberylic iodide and alcohol is added to strong alcoholic potash.
