Vorschrift

Phenol (4.0 g, 0.043 moles), para-(methylthio)phenol (6.0 g, 0.043 moles), and catalyst (2.0 g, Examples 32 and 33 in Table below) were combined and heated under nitrogen for the times and at the temperatures indicated. The mixtures were cooled to room temperature and filtered. The solid catalyst was washed several times with ether. The filtrate and ether washings were combined, and volatiles were removed on a rotary flash evaporator. GC analysis indicated the presence of phenol, ortho-(methylthio)phenol, para-(methylthio)phenol, and di-(methylthio)phenols. Yields of ortho-(methylthio)phenol are given in the Table below.
