It is known that p-arsanilic acid prepared by direct arsenation of aniline contains diphenylarsinic acid as impurity, and recently it has been pointed out that a fairly large quantity of o-arsanilic acid is present. Unless this is removed, Arsphenamine obtained from arsanilic acid will also contain o-Arsphenamine, and, since little is known of this latter substance, its presence in the drug might be injurious.

The arsenations were carried out by the method of Bart which has been modified, particularly by Schmidt.

Tertiary arsines, usually admixed with halo- and dihaloarsines, have been obtained by the direct arsenation of suitably activated aromatic compounds, by the addition of arsenic halides to unsaturated compounds, by the reaction of arsenic halides with diazoalkanes, and by the reaction of arsenic metal with free radicals.
