Hi Hunnybunny27, nice to see somebody show interest in the old Baeyer reaction. With the analytical methods of IR and NMR spectroscopy those old tests for simple functional groups slowly vanish from the labs. I hope you find his original publication where he first used the reaction. If there is the need for a helping hand, just drop me a note.--Stone (talk) 22:12, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
