Reaction Steps

A further 72.8 g of pyrocatechol, 616 ml of decalin, 264 ml of ethyl alcohol, 135.8 g of methallyl chloride, 116.6 g of sodium carbonate and 1.8 g of sodium hydrosulphite are added to the previously separated lower phase (140 g) which is constituted essentially by 48.2 g of pyrocatechol and the quaternary ammonium salt. The mixture is heated to 80° under stirring in a nitrogen atmosphere for 3 hours, to obtain practically the same results in o.methallyloxyphenol as obtained in the first cycle.
