Abstract

of 6.85 g (0.05 mol) of p-nitrotoluene in 60 mL of concentrated H2S04 was added 7.55 g (0.05 mol) of W (hydroxymethy1) benzamide.'The solution was stirred at room temperature for 63 h and poured into ice and water. Recrystabation three times from ethanol gave 4.0 g (30%) of colorless 3 b mp 134-137" C; IR, 3300, 1635, 1655 (sh) cm-'; mass spectrum, m/e 270 (M'). Anal.
