Abstract

The experiments described herein were performed in an attempt to set up a quantitative basis for the comparison of variously constituted phenols and phenol ethers in respect to the rates of exchange of nuclear hydrogen atoms. Whereas previous investigators have examined the hydrogen exchange of phenol8 with aqueous alkali, and of anisole with aqueous sulfuric acid, aa our work has been done with deutero-ethanol as solvent and ...
