HCID 708284-Tert-octylcatecholYield 54%

Procedure

The procedure of Example 9 was repeated, except 0.2% by weight of pyridine-2,6-dimethanol was used as a catalyst and the reaction was carried out at 50°C. Consequently, the conversion of para-tert.-octyl phenol was 6.2%, 4-tert.-octyl pyrocatechol was formed in a yield of 54% based on the converted octyl phenol and the conversion of perpropionic acid was 97.2%.
