BENZYL CHLORIDES WITH ACID SODIUM SULFIDE 2549 with an excess of benzoic anhydride and the whole warmed on a water-bath. The mixture became soft, then hardened again. Benzoic acid sublimed during the reaction.The mixture was repeatedly extracted with li groin in order to remove all of the benzoic acid and unchanged benzoic anhydride. The ester was recrystallized from alcohol and water and found to melt at 153°; yield, 1.02 g.
