This body was formed by heating together calculated 

 amounts of the base and acetic anhydride at a temperature of 

 I30°-I35°. At the end of an hour the reaction was complete. 

 The product, a yellowish-white mass, was crystallized from 

 benzol in white leaflets which melted at 'jZ°, dissolved readily 

 in hot benzol and ligroin, sparingly in alcohol. 



An analysis gave the following result : — 



0.1929 gr. substance gave 0.5760 gr. carbon dioxide and 

 0.1589 gr. water, corresponding to 0.15708 gr. C. and 

 0.1765 gr. H.

From the results obtained with thymol it was natural to 

 suppose that its isomer, carvacrol, would yield similar 

 products.
