Abstract
The oxidative coupling reactions of p-cresol were carried out in its aqueous solution using FeCl3 as the oxidizing agent. In a highly concentrated p-cresol solution, the oxidative dimeric compound readily precipitated as oil droplets and was prevented from further oxidation to the trimeric compound. The formation of an ortho-ortho linkage has become superior to that of the ortho-para linkage in a more concentrated solution.
