HCID 695602,6-Dimethylhydroquinone

Procedure

By following in the same manner as in Example 56 except that 11.2 g. (P=67.7) of methyl ethyl ketone peroxide was used instead of 4-methyl-2-pentanone peroxide, 4.68 g. (33.9 m.moles) of 3,5-dimethylcatechol and 2.17 g. (15.7 m.moles) of 2,6-dimethylhydroquinone were obtained. The yield of dihydric alkylphenols was 73.3%.
