Abstract
o-Cresol and m-cresol were synthesized in xylol under atmospheric pressure using o-chlorotoluene(OCT)and cesium hydroxide as starting materials.The mixture reacted in a ratio of 1.8:1(n cesium hydroxide: nOCT) for 8h using 18-crown-6 as phase-transfer catalyst to afford a 1.2:1 mixture of m-cresol/o-cresol with a total yield of 64%.
