Abstract
Pure oil of bitter almonds is converted, by the action of a strong solution of ammonia, into a solid white substance having a crystalline form, and which was termed by M. Laurent hydrobenzamide . The author found that this substance, by the further action of alkalies, became harder and less fusible than before, and not differing in chemical composition from the original substance, but exhibiting the properties of an organic salt-base. To this substance the author gives the name of benzoline . He finds that the salts which it forms by combination with acids are, in general, remarkable for their sparing solubility; and that many of them, as the hydrochlorate, the nitrate and the sulphate, are crystallizable. Of the properties of these salts the author gives a detailed account.
