The solution is decolorised by means of animal charcoal (0.6 g.). After filtration, hydrochloric acid (d = 1.19) (100 cc.) is added. The mixture is extracted with ethyl ether (2.25 liters). The organic layer is dried over anhydrous magnesium sulphate (40 g.). After filtering, and concentrating the filtrate, 4-trifluoromethyl-phthalic acid (99.1 g.) melting at 178° C is obtained.
