Process for preparing 2-methoxyethoxybenzenes and new 2-methoxyethoxybenzyl cyanides

摘要

2-Methoxyethoxy-benzenes are obtained in an advantageous manner from the corresponding phenol compounds by reaction with 2-chloroethyl methyl ether if the process is carried out without the addition of a strong solvent at temperatures above 95° C. and under pressure. The present invention also relates to novel 2-methoxyethoxybenzyl cyanides.
