Reaction Steps

Pyrocatechol (220.22 g, 2 mol) and Nal (10.49 g, 0.14 mol) were initially introduced in 900 ml of ethanol, and the mixture was heated to reflux. KOH (56.11 g, 1 mol) dissolved in about 300 ml of ethanol and simultaneously 1-bromo-2-methylpropane (137.03 g, 1 mol, 108.75 ml) were subsequently slowly added dropwise. The mixture was refluxed further overnight. On the next day, the same amount of KOH and alkyl bromide were again added. This procedure was repeated a total of seven times.
