Quoi

other answers I have seen for 9a are
xanthate
taetrate

I dont agree with taetrate but what do you think about xanthate?

9269

Just looked at the formulae for Tartic and Xanthic Acids - the latter contains Sulphur - so I'm now with Xanthate

Just looked at the formulae for Tartric and Xanthic Acids - the latter contains Sulphur - so I'm now with Xanthate

tartrate is definitely wrong as is not sulphur-containing. Xanthate is the answer.

Question Author

thank you all but where did you get 'uncate' from. Can't find it in Oxford dictionary.

bradleyjohn

Chambers doesn't give any pointers that may suggest 'xanthate' - but Collins and Bloomsbury can both confirm that 'xanthate' is correct.

'Uncate' is found in Chambers under 'uncus' but only 'uncus' is present in Collins and Bloomsbury.

Who'd be a dictionary complier?!

bradleyjohn

Or even 'compiler'!
