ATTEMPTS to brominate nitrites have usually resulted unsuccessfully, and the brcmination of anthranilic acid has given only tribromaniline. By the use of the calculated amount of nascent bromine, however, we have succeeded in introducing two atoms of bromine, not only into the molecule of anthranilic acid, but also into that of its nitrile, the brominating agent being an aqueous solution of potassium bromide and bromate, in the proportion of five ...
