Procedure
o-Cresol, methanol and water in a ratio of 1:2.5:2.5 were reacted in the same way as described in Example 1. The catalyst contained iron oxide, vanadium oxide, titanium oxide and calcium oxide in a molar ratio of 100:22:2:1.5. After working up, 2.6-xylenol was obtained with a selectivity of 98%.
