Summary of Part III

The condensation of anisole with succinic anhydride gave β-(4-methoxybenzoyl)-propionic acid, and a small quantity of α-β-4: 4′-dihydroxydibenzoylethane.

Similar condensation has been carried out with the methyl ethers of the three cresols. The constitution of these various keto-acids has been determined by oxidation. They have been also reduced to the corresponding substituted butyric acids.
