Reaction Steps

By following in the same manner as in Example 56 except that 100 g. (735 m.moles) of 2,3,5-trimethylphenol was used instead of 3,5-dimethylphenol, 2.16 g. (14.2 m.moles) of 3,4,6-trimethylcatechol and 0.71 g. (4.7 m.moles) of 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone were obtained. The yield of dihydric alkylphenols was 44.9%.
