Researches respecting the radical of Benzoic Acid. 285 



* 



Bz=Benz6ylic acid. 

 BzH=Bitter almond oil. 

 B^CZ=Chlorobenz6yl. 

 B'z or BzS — Sulphuret of benzoyl. 

 •Rz-f 2NH 3 = Ammoniuret of benzoyl, (benzoyl ammonia.) 

 Ifweput Amid = NH% we have 



Bz+NH 2 = Benzamid or bitter benzoylamid. 



C + NH 2 =Oxamid. 



K4-NH 2 =Potnssiurnamid, (Berzelius* Chemistry, I. 794.) 

 N+NH a =Sodium amid. 

 If we further place oil of wine, which I propose to call etherin, 



OH 8 =E, we find 



E-f 2 4t = Alcohol. 



E-f -5£=Ether. 



E + S-GZ =Muriatic ether. 



# • 



E+if Mr = Nitric ether. 

 E-f B£.jf- = Benzoylic ether. 



. • • • • • • • 



ES+ -Jt S = Sulphovinic acid according to Hennel and Serullas. 

 E-f 2-St-S = Snlphovinic acid according to Wohler and Leibig. 



2E S-f -it = Sulphuric oil of wine. 

 E-f A-Hr=Acetic ether. 

 2E-f A -H- = (Pyroacetic spirit?) (Brenzessiggeist. German.) 



E-f 2P/-€£=Zeise's ethereal salt. 



E-f 2P/ = Ethereal oxid of Platinum. 

 E-f 2P*=Ether platinum. 

 Suppose by way of experiment, there is an oxid of etherine=E, 



then f E-f -J£=Ligneous spirit. (Aolzspiritus. German.) 



2E-f 5t = Acetal or Doebereiner's new oxy-ether. 



From these two last formulas, we perceive that acetal has the same 

 relation to ligneous spirit, that pyroacelic spirit bears to acetic ether. 



But I think it necessary to insist, that such formulas be employed 

 only when the ideas they express, are advanced in some measure to 

 confirm truths, else they would lead to a Babylonian confusion. 



* It will be of great interest, to ascertain the behavior of this body to sulphu- 

 rets.— B. 



t According to the results of analyses of both bodies, which I sent by letter to Ber- 

 zelius, and which will appear in one of the succeeding numbers of this Journal. — J. L.
