Abstract

BY WILLARD M. BRIGHT'AND PETER CAMMARATA RECEIVED JANUARY 22, 1952 This paper presents a direct method for the preparation of crystalline monomeric bromomethyl alkyl phenols. In it the phenol, dissolved in glacial acetic acid, is allowed to react with paraformaldehyde and anhydrous hydrogen bromide. The generality of the method is attested to by the simple preparationsof 2, 6-bis-(bromomethy1)-4methylphe-nol, 2, 6-bis-( ...
