Reaction Steps

The procedure of Example 21 was repeated, except diphenyl ether was used in place of 4-methyl anisole and perisobutyric acid (used as 20% acetone solution) was used in place of peracetic acid. Consequently, the conversion of perisobutyric acid was 98.5%, the conversion of diphenyl ether was 8.28% and there were produced 4.15g of 2-hydroxydiphenyl ether and 2.04g of 4-hydroxydiphenyl ether.
