Abstract

We described recently'a simple method for the introduction of one or more methyl groups into the nucleus of phenols, a method requiring merely treatment of the phenol with dimethylamine and formaldehyde and subsequent fission of the substituted benzylamine by catalytic high pressure hydrogenation.
