Abstract

A study of the acid catalyzed esterification of substituted 2-benzoylbenzoic acids was undertaken in order to find out more about the structurd features which determine whether normal or pseudo esters will form. In a previous publicationa we outlined a program for the preparation of all of the substituted 2-benzoylbenzoic acids having one or more methyl groups at positions A, B, C, and D of I.
