Versuchsvorschrift

The procedure of Example 8 was followed, except 20 ml of acetone was added as a solvent for para-tert.-octyl phenol and 4.5g (0.05 mol) of perpropionic acid in the form of about 25 weight% acetone solution was added over 20 minutes in place of peracetic acid. Consequently, the conversion of para-tert.-octyl phenol was 6.8%, 4-tert.-octyl pyrocatechol was formed in a yield of 61% based on the converted octyl phenol and the conversion of perpropionic acid was 100%.
