Reaction Steps

Into a spherical flask equipped with a condenser, a dropping funnel and containing 2 mols of o-cresol are introduced, in 15 minutes, 2.2 mols of propionyl chloride. The mixture as obtained is heated at 110° C. for about 2 hours, until the discharge of hydrochloric acid ceases. The o-cresol propionate which is obtained is distilled under vacuum:
