To a solution of 0.01 mol of vanillin alkanoate IIIa
IIIe in 50 ml of ethanol, 0.02 mol of 1,3-cyclohexane-
dione (Ia) or dimedone (Ib) was added, and the mix-
ture was refluxed for 2 6 h. Crystals formed and were
separated, washed with diethyl ether, dried, and re-
crystallized from methanol.

benz[a]acridin-12-yl)phenyl esters IVa IVe of ali-
phatic (C1 C4) carboxylic acids. To a solution of
0.01 mol of 2-naphthylamine (II) in 50 ml of ethanol,
0.01 mol of vanillin alkanoate IIIa IIIe and 0.01 mol
of 1,3-cyclohexanedione (Ia) were added, and the
mixture was refluxed for 1 3 h (depending on the
radical chain length in the vanillin ester). After
cooling, crystal formed and were separated, washed
with hotmethanol, and recrystallized from benzene.
