Reaction Steps

By following in the same manner as in Example 56 except that 0.11 g. of strong acidic sulfontype ion exchange resin Amberlyst 15 (manufactured by Rohm and Hass Co.) was used instead of sulfuric acid, 2.55 g. (18.5 m.moles) of 3,5-dimethylcatechol and 1.26 g. (9.1 m.moles) of 2,6-dimethylhydroquinone were obtained. The yield of dihydric alkylphenols was 65.6%.
