Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,6-dihydroxyacetophenone (15.2 g), m-cresylglycidyl ether (16.4 g) and benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide (10 drops of a 40% solution) in 2-ethoxyethanol (75 ml) was heated under reflux for 48 hours. The solvent was then removed under reduced pressure to give 1-(2-acetyl-3-hydroxyphenoxy)-2-hydroxy-3-m-cresyloxypropane (31.5 g) as a viscous amber oil.
