IN connexion with another investigation, it became desirable to prepare 6: 6'-dinitrodiphenic acid. This compound was first obtained by Schulze (Annulen, 1880, 203, 95) as one of the products of nitration of diphenic acid, and also of oxidation of the mixture of dinitro-derivatives obtained from phenanthraquinone. Its probable constitution, although recognised by Schad (Ber., 1893, 26, 219), was first demonstrated by Schmidt (Ber., 1903, 36, 3745), who prepared 2: 2'-dinitrodiphenyl from it by distillation of the barium salt, and obtained carbazole in a similar manner from the corresponding diamino-acid, which Schad (Zoc. cit.) had prepared and characterised. The synthesis of the acid had, however, not been carried out, and we therefore proposed to complete the evidence just summarised by preparing our material synthetically. 2-Chloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid was obtained by oxidation of 2-chloro-3-nitrotoluene with dilute nitric acid, whilst the preparation of the corresponding iodo-acid has recently been described by us (T., 1920, 117, 776). The esters of either of these acids, but preferably of the latter, reacted easily with copper powder, and furnished the esters of the desired acid:
