Reaction Steps

Amer. Chem. Soc., 74 (1952), 3027-29, discloses that the treatment of o-bromophenol with twice the molar amount of lithium diethylamide in boiling diethyl ether gives rise to m-diethyl-aminophenol. However, the process described there is completely unsuitable for an industrial synthesis, since m-diethylaminophenol is formed only in a yield of 15%.
