Reaction Steps

The mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered. The catalyst was washed several times with ether and allowed to dry. The filtrate and ether washings were combined, and volatiles were removed on a rotary flash evaporator. GC analysis indicated the presence of phenol (5.3 g. 42% recovered), ortho(methylthio)phenol (5.2 g. 41% yield), para-(methylthio)phenol (2.0 g, and di-(methylthio)phenols (2.0 g).
