Reaction Steps
A mixture of 282 g of phenol and 86 g of magnesium methylate prepared from metallic magnesium and methanol was heated at 70° C. to make a solution, to which 300 ml of n-heptane was added. The mixture was refluxed at 98° C. for 24 hours, then cooled, and evaporated in a rotary evaporator to remove heptane, phenol and methanol, thereby giving 170 g of magnesium phenolate.
