Dehydration of o-thymotic acid by various reagents gives cis-di-o-thymotide and tri-o-thymotide; higher cyclic anhydro-derivatives (cf. the salicylides and cresotides) are not formed. These compounds were described previously as isomeric di-o-thymotides. Their reactions with alkali and with benzylamine have been investigated. Tri-o-thymotide frequently crystallises with solvent of crystallisation; such solvents include light petroleum, n-hexane, and benzene.
