  Sulphinide \Sul"phi*nide\, n. [Sulpho- + amine + anhydride.]
     (Chem.)
     A white or yellowish crystalline substance,
     {C6H4.(SO2.CO).NH}, produced artificially by the oxidation of
     a sulphamic derivative of toluene. It is the sweetest
     substance known, having over two hundred times the sweetening


     power of sugar, and is known in commerce under the name of
     {saccharine}. It has acid properties and forms salts (which
     are inaccurately called saccharinates). --I. Remsen.
