Procedure

A mixture of 48.5 g of this magnesium methylate and 105 g of phenol was suspended in 150 ml of n-heptane. The suspension was heated to reflux n-heptane at 98° C. for 10 hours, then cooled, and evaporated in a rotary evaporator to remove n-heptane and methanol, thereby giving 110 g of magnesium phenolate.
