Coupling the latter with tribenzoylgalloyl chloride yielded hepta-[tribenzoyl-galloyl]-_p_-iodophenyl maltosazone, the structure of which is represented by-- CH:N_2H.C_6H_4I | C:N_2H.C_6H_4I | CH.O.R R = CO.C_6H_2(O.CO.C_6H_6)_2 | CH.O.R | CH.O.R R R R R | O O O O | | | | | CH_2.O.CH.CH.CH.CH.CH.CH_2 | | ---O--- The molecular weight of this substance is 4,021, and probably represents the highest molecular organic body obtained in any chemical synthesis.
