In the patented formation of 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-L-ribofuranose, a reactor containing thionyl chloride (5 ml) and methyl alcohol (100 ml) is stirred at 0–5 °C for 10 to 15 minutes. After this period, 10 g (ratio-wise) of ribose is added to the flask. The flask is then stirred and maintained at its temperature for 8 hours.
Some alchemists also circulated steps for the creation of practical medicines and substances, that have little to do with the magnum opus. The cryptic and often symbolic language used to describe both adds to the confusion, but it's clear that there is no single standard step-by-step recipe given for the creation of the philosopher's stone.
The term transmutation dates back to alchemy.Alchemists pursued the philosopher's stone, capable of chrysopoeia – the transformation of base metals into gold. [3] While alchemists often understood chrysopoeia as a metaphor for a mystical or religious process, some practitioners adopted a literal interpretation and tried to make gold through physical experimentation.
Must be a defining trait – Characters with access to vast powers (such as magical spells, advanced technology and genetic engineering) who are theoretically capable of this superhuman feature or ability – but who have neither made regular use nor provided a notable example of this extraordinary or supernatural feat – are not listed here.
Triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC), or simply tetrazolium chloride (with the formula 2,3,5-triphenyl-2H-tetrazolium chloride) is a redox indicator commonly used in biochemical experiments especially to indicate cellular respiration. It is a white crystalline powder, soluble in water, ethanol and acetone but insoluble in ether.
Transmutation had previously been used as a term in alchemy to describe the transformation of base metals into gold. Other names for evolutionary ideas used in this period include the development hypothesis (one of the terms used by Darwin) and the theory of regular gradation , used by William Chilton in the periodical press such as The Oracle ...
The word was used in the title of a brief alchemical work, the Chrysopoeia of Cleopatra attributed to Cleopatra the Alchemist, which was probably written in the first centuries of the Christian era, but which is first found on a single leaf in a tenth-to-eleventh century manuscript in the Biblioteca Marciana, Venice, MS Marciana gr. Z. 299. [2]
