Those who are conversant with the history of the development of our present theory of structure are aware that the constitution of lactic acid was the subject of discussion, in the years 1858-1860, by the distinguished German chemist Kolbe and the equally distinguished French chemist Wurtz, the latter contending that the acid was diabasic, whilst Kolbe held that it was a monatomic monobasic acid, viz. Hydroxypropionic acid—a view which has long been accepted. The discussion has an important place in chemical literature, as it practically involved the recognition of the doctrine that organic acids owe their distinctive properties to the presence of the carboxyl radicle, (CO. OH).
