On repeating the experiments of Hunt and Hofmann, on the action of nitrous acid on aniline, I found that the reaction does not take place exactly as these chemists state; Hunt gives the reaction as C 12 H 5 H H }N+NO 3 +HO = C 12 H 6 O 2 + N 2 + 2HO. Hofmann says that phenylic alcohol is not formed, but nitrophe-nassic acid, when binoxide of nitrogen is led into a diluted solution of the nitrate: C 12 H 5 H H } N + NO 3 + NO 5 = C 12 {H 5 NO 4 } O 2 + N 2 + 2HO.
