Participants
| Role | Name | HCID | Charge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reactant | Hydrochloric Acid | HCID 313 | — |
| Reactant | Potassium Hydroxide | HCID 14797 | — |
| Reactant | Sparassol | HCID 596344 | — |
| Product | 3-Methoxy-5-Methylphenol | HCID 76674 | 70% |
Reaction Steps
1.0 g of the methyl 4-methoxy-6-methyl-salicylate thus obtained is boiled under reflux with 35 ml of aqueous potassium hydroxide solution (15% strength) for 8 hours. The reaction mixture is then acidified with dilute hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. 0.70 g (yield: 70%) of orcinyl (3-methoxy-5-methylphenol) is obtained.
