Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-phenoxy-o-cresol (7.5 g) and dimethyl sulfate (14 g) and aqueous solution (30 ml) of potassium hydroxide (10.5 g) were treated in a similar manner to that of Example 14-(2). The resultant residue was pulverized with ethanol to give phenyl 2-methoxy-3-methylphenyl ether (6 g). mp 52°-53° C.
