between  220  and  225°C,  to  which  he  ascribed  the  same  formula.  It 
was  probably  the  body  here  described  but  in  a  rather  impure  state  as 
I  found  that  at  summer  temperature  it  was  almost  impossible  to  ob- 
tain the  acetylanisol  pure. 
Phenetol. — The  acetyl-phenetol  crystallizes  from  ether  in  hexagonal 
plates  melting  at  60-61  °C.  and  distilling  above  260°C. 
Besorcindiethyl  ether. — The  ketone  crystallizes  from  alcohol  in  small 
and  usually  pinkish  crystals  which  melt  at  67-68 °C. 
a-Naphthylmethyl  ether  yields  a  ketone,  crystallizing  from  ether  in 
colorless  hexagonal  plates  which  melt  at  71-72°C.  and  distil  above 
300°C. 
a-Naphthylethyl  ether. — The  acetyl  compound  crystallizes  in  small 
prisms  which  melt  at  78-79°C.  and  distil  above  300°C. 
ft-Naphthylmethyl  ether. — The  ketone  crystallizes  from  dilute  alco- 
hol in  colorless  needles,  melting  at  57-58 °C. 
ft-Naphthylethyl  ether — Yields  a  ketone,  crystallizing  from  ether  in 
colorless  prisms,  melting  at  62-63°C,  and  distilling  above  360°C. 
2.  Action  of  benzoyl  chloride  on — 
Anisol. — The  body  here  obtained  was  previously  prepared  in  a  dif- 
ferent manner  by  Rennie  (Jour.  Chem.  Soc,  1882,  p.  220).  The 
crystals  melt  at  61-62°C,  and  distil  above  300°C. 
Phenetol. — The  benzoyl  phenetol  melts  at  38-39°C,  and  distils 
above  300°C. ;   it  was  crystallized  from  glacial  acetic  acid. 
a-Naphthylmethyl  ether. — The  ketone  here  obtained  melts  at  74-75°C. 
and  is  decomposed  by  distillation. 
3.  Derivatives  obtained  from  the  first  group  : 
From  acetylanisol. — 1.  By  action  of  bromine  water,  a  monobromine 
substitution  product,  melting  at  85-86 °C. 
2.  By  action  of  nitric  acid,  a  body  very  likely  belonging  to  the 
nitrosacyls  studied  by  Holleman  (Ber.,xx.  (1887)3359  ;  xxi.  (1888) 
2835),  and  melting  at  139°C. 
3.  The  ozidation  product,  anisic  acid,  melting  at  185°C,  and  the 
corresponding  glyoxylic  acid  in  an  impure  state. 
From  acetylphenetol. — The  oxidation  product, ^)-oxethyl  benzoic  acid ; 
melts  at  195°C,  and  the  allied  glyoxylic  acid,  at  53-54°C. 
From  acetyl-a-naphthylmethyl  ether. — Oxidation  yielded  a  carbon 
acid,  which  had  been  previously  described  by  Gattermann  &  Hess 
(Lieb.  Ann.,  244,  p.  61.)  The  corresponding  glyoxylic  acid  was  ob- 
tained in  an  impure  state.
