Procedure

The procedure of Example 18 was followed, except the reaction was carried out for two hours at 60°C using phenyl ethyl ether in place of 4-metyl anisole. Consequently, the conversion of peracetic acid was 65.1%, the conversion of phenyl ethyl ether was 5.97% and there were produced 3.51g of hydroquinone ethyl ether and 1.49g of pyrocatechol monoethyl ether.
