TL;DR

The present work arose out of an attempt to improve existing methods and it was decided in the first place to employ the naphthoresorcinol reaction for estimating glucuronide, which was found to indicate the presence of glucuronidate, resembling NaPG closely in its solubility in butanol and its behaviour on entraiument, in great excess of the amount of NaPG which would be expected.
