Reaction Steps

By following in the same manner as in Example 53, except that 60 percent hydrogen peroxide was increased from 2.88 g. (50.8 m. moles) to 4.50 g. (79.4 m. moles), 4.69 g. (34.0 m. moles) of 3,5-dimethylcatechol and 2.75 g. (19.9 m. moles) of 2,6-dimethylhydroquinone were obtained. The yield of dihydric alkylphenols was 67.9 percent.
