HCID 73814-tert-ButylcatecholYield 75%

Procedure

The procedure of Example 7 was repeated, except 0.2% by weight of dioctyl pyrophosphate was used in place of Na5R'5 (P3O10)2. Consequently, the conversion of para-tert.-butyl phenol was 7.2%, 4-tert.-butyl pyrocatechol was formed in a yield of 75% based on the converted butyl phenol and the conversion of peracetate was 99.0%.
