PROCESS FOR PREPARING O-/ 2-METHYL-ALLYL /-OXY-PHENOL BY MEANS OF THE SELECTIVE ETHERIFICATION OF PYROCATECHOL

摘要

Process for the selective monoetherification of pyrocatechol. The process relates to the selective monoetherification of pyrocatechol by means of methallyl chloride. It consists of carrying out the etherification in an aprotic solvent medium in the presence of an alkali metal carbonate or bicarbonate. The process can be used industrially for the preparation of o-methallyloxyhenol.
