Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2.1 grams of 4-(2'-methyl-4'-fluorophenyl)-anisole in 50 ml. of boiling acetic acid is added 5 ml. of hydriodic acid and the boiling continued for 3 hours. Water is added and the reaction mixture cooled and the 4-(2'-methyl-4'-fluorophenyl)-phenol crystallizes. Further purification is then achieved by recrystallization of the solid from aqueous ethanol to yield 4-(2'-methyl-4'-fluorophenyl)-phenol.
