Abstract

3, 4, 5-Trimethoxytoluene (TMT) was synthesized, starting from p-cresol, through bromination followed by methylation to give 3, 5-dibromo-4-methoxytoluene (DBMT). The methoxylation of the latter with sodium methoxide in methanol was studied under pressure and by continuous distillation of the solvent, methanol. The O-methylation reaction preceding the methoxylation was advantageous from the point of view of separation, ...
