Reaction Steps

By following in the same manner as in Example 53, except that 100 g. (819 m. moles) of 2,5-dimethylphenol were used instead of 3,5-dimethylphenol, 1.45 g. (10.5 m. moles) of 3,6-dimethylcatechol and 1.85 g. (13.4 m. moles) of 2,5-dimethylhydroquinone were obtained. The yield of dihydric alkylphenols was 46.9 percent.
