Process for producing a para-substituted phenol derivative

摘要

By reacting, using as a catalyst a modified or unmodified cyclodextrin, a phenol compound with an organic halide selected from the group consisting of a carbon tetrahalide and a substituted or unsubstituted allyl halide in the presence of an alkali metal hydroxide, a substituent group derived from said organic halide can be introduced to the para-position of the phenol compound with high selectivity, whereby various useful para-substituted phenol derivatives can be advantageously obtained.
