mixture of 5.04 g. (0.022 mole) of phloroglucinol and 3.96 g. (0.04 mole) of maleic anhydride in 45 cc. of nitrobenzene was cooled to 10°. During the course of 15 minutes 17.42 g. (0.13 mole) of anhydrous aluminum chloride was introduced with mechanical stirring. External cooling was needed to keep the temperature at 30°. After 0.5 hr. the exothermic reaction subsided and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 0.75 hr. The aluminum complex was decomposed in a mixture of ice and concentrated hydrochloric acid. The crude acid (4 g.) was recrystallized from water; m. p. of light colored acid 262.5°( dec.
