## Abstract After thermal decomposition of cupric benzoate in the presence of deuterium oxide 43% of __ortho__βdeuteroβbenzoic acid can be obtained beside phenol. A radical mechanism for the air oxidation of benzoic acid to phenol under the catalytic influence of copper oxide should therefore be re

Abstract
The reaction of cupric benzoate with carbon tetrachloride leads to the formation of a mixture of benzoyl chloride and orthoβchlorobenzoyl chloride. On the basis of these data, the reactions of cupric benzoate are reconsidered. Most probably at about 200Β° the cupric benzoate forms a radical, stabilised by interaction of the cupricβion with the ortho position. With this stabilised radical all the reactions described in this and previous^1,2,3^ papers can be explained.

## Abstract Among the reaction products of cupric benzoate and ammonia a small amount of aniline is found. Using [1β^14^C]βbenzoic acid the position of the amino group is identified as __ortho__ in relation to the original carboxyl group.
