Reaction Steps

A five liter flask was equipped with a stirrer, thermometer dropping funnel, heating mantle, Dean-Stark trap and a reflux condenser. 329 grams of a 48.6% aqueous solution of NaOH was added to the flask along with 2000 ml of a 4:1 mixture of xylene and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol. 433 grams of commercial cresol (99.4% pure) was slowly added. The batch was heated to reflux to collect the water. The product was a solution of sodium cresolate:xylene-2-ethyl-1-hexanol mixture.
