Degradation of calvatic acid in 1 N HCl containing 10% of methanol under reflux for 15 hours followed by silicic acid chromatography gave p-hydroxy-benzoic acid, melting at 210°14 211° C., which was identified by comparison with the infrared spectrum of an authentic sample. Elemental analysis: found: C, 61.03; H, 4.76; N, 0.0 m/e 138; calcd. for C7H6O3 : C, 60.87; H, 4.38, m.w., 138. The data on high resolution mass spectrum of calvatic acid methyl ester is as follows:
