Procedure
A mixture of o-cresol and phenol, dimethyl ether and water in a molar ratio of 1:2:2.6 were reacted as described in Example 1. The catalyst contained iron oxide, vanadium oxide, silicon oxide and barium oxide in a molar ratio of 100:2:10:0.1. After working up, 2.6-xylenol was obtained with a selectivity of 99%.
