prepared by the action of phenylmagnesium bromide on o-naphthofuchsone. When IV was heated with hydrochloric acid, it behaved like 11, yielding@-naphthol and triphenylcarbinol. IV was acylated with p-nitrobenzoyl chloride; this and the fact that it gives the Platkovskaya test3 for hindered phenols indicates that IV exists in the phenolic form, although it is practically insoluble in aqueous alkali. It is similar, therefore, to 2, 4-diniethyl-6-t- ...
