(1) With monohydroxy phenols, both etherial salts and sulphonphthaleïns are formed, the former predominating.
(2) With polyhydroxy phenols no etherial salts were obtained, but compounds of the unsymmetrical type, usually containing more than two phenol residues.
6. With aniline an anil and an anilid of symmetrical constitution are formed.
7. With phosphorus oxychloride, the anilid, by loss of water, forms a dianil.
8. This dianil undergoes transformation with
(1) Glacial acetic acid, forming an anilid of unsymmetrical constitution.
(2) Hydrochloric acid forming the anil.
(3) Alcoholic potash, with the formation of colored decomposition products.
