Reaction Steps

The 4-(4'-chlorophenoxy)anisol was demethylated by refluxing it with an excess of 48% HBr in glacial acetic acid for 24 hours. The crude product, obtained after hydrolysis and extraction with diethyl ether, was recrystallized from hexane to yield 4-(4'-chlorophenoxy)phenol as a white solid, bp 83°-85° C., 24.5 g (91.4%).
