The Nitration of Isomeric Acetylamino Methoxy Benzoic 



Acids. — By J. L. Simonsen and M. Gopala Rau. 



The authors have investigated the products formed on the nitration 

 of the four isomeric acids, 3-acetylamino -2 methoxy benzoic acid, 5-acety- 

 lamino-2-methoxy benzoic acid, 4-acetylamino-3-methoxy benzoic acid, 

 and 3-acetylamino-4-methoxy benzoic acid. They discussed the bearing 

 of the results obtained on the general problem of substitution in the ben- 

 zene nucleus.

Thiopken.— By P. C. Ray and M. L. D v. 



By the intraction of thioacetamide and monochloracetic acid 

 crystalline compound is formed which is found to be methyl- car boxy J 

 ethine sulphide (or carboxyl propine sulphide). The reaction evidently 

 takes place according to the equaction.
