• Chemical Abstracts currently names these materials as 2-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)benzoic acids. Their former reference was α-benzoyl-o-toluic acids. Other names used for these compounds have included o-phenacylbenzoic acids. We are using the latter designation. In addition, 1H-2-benzopyranon-1-ones are referred to as isocoumarins, and 1-oxo-2,5-dihydro 1H-2,3-benzodiazepines are referred to as 2,3-benzodiazepin-1-ones in this paper.

• o-Phenacylbenzoic acid (1.00 gram) was dissolved in hot glacial acetic acid (10–15 mL), and then treated with 5–10 drops of concentrated sulfuric acid. The color of the solution darkened immediately and after 2 minutes of heating and stirring, the solution was poured into a beaker containing approximately 100 g. of ice. After the ice melted, the mixture containing solid material was filtered, and the resulting solid isocoumarin was recrystallized from alcohol or alcohol and water. See also:
