The reaction of DL-1,3-butadiene diepoxide and of DL-1,4-dibromo-2,3-butanediol with aqueous alkaline sodium arsenite, "Na(3)AsO(3)", gave mixtures of the title arsonic acids which can be separated by anion exchange resin. Characterization of by-products leads to a better understanding of these reactions.
