Procedure

To a 100 ml. beaker, 25 g. of the starting phenylphenol mixture used in Example 1, above, and water containing 1.0 g. of sodium hydroxide were added. The mixture was heated to 95° C. and stirred for 10 minutes after reaching this temperature. This gave a mole ratio of caustic to m-phenylphenol of about 5.55 to 1. Water was added to maintain volume. The solid was collected on a filter. The cake was treated with small amounts of hydrochloric acid and dried. The resulting p-phenylphenol was analyzed and shown to have 1.2% of m-phenylphenol present therein.
