    Abstract: Salicylic acids substituted by alkyl, alkoxy, hydroxy or amino groups are obtained by the customary reaction between alkaline solution of the phenol, and carbon dioxide, performed continuously by pumping the reaction mixture through pressure vessels, preferably with the addition of oxidation-inhibitors, such as ascorbic acid. Examples give the production of p-amino-salicylic acid, 2 - hydroxy - 4 - amino - 5 - methylbenzoic acid, and gentisic acid by this method, the acids being liberated by mineral acid; sodium hydrosulphite being used as oxidation inhibitor.
