Participants
| Role | Name | HCID | Charge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reactant | M-Cresol | HCID 342 | — |
| Reactant | Peracetic Acid | HCID 6585 | — |
| Product | 3-Methylcatechol | HCID 340 | 10.3% |
| Product | Methylhydroquinone | HCID 7253 | 25.9% |
| Product | 4-Methylcatechol | HCID 9958 | 23% |
Reaction Steps
By repeating the procedure of Example 5, meta-cresol was subjected to reaction under the same conditions, except perisobutyric acid was used in place of peracetic acid. Consequently, the conversion of perisobutyric acid was 99.9% and there were obtained 10.3% of 3-methyl-1,2-dihydroxy benzene, 23.0% of 4-methyl-1,2-dihydroxy benzene and 25.9% of 3-metyl-1,4-dihydroxy benzene.
