Summary

  1. 1.

    An investigation was made of the alkylation of p- and m-cresols with 1,3-propanediol and 2,2-dimethyl-1, 3-propanediol in presence of zinc chloride deposited on alumina.

  2. 2.

    Unlike reactions with butanediols, the reaction proceeds at the primary alcohol group with 60–70% yields of alkylation products.

  3. 3.

    2, 2-Dimethyl-1, 3-propanediol reacts more readily than 1, 3-propanediol in the alkylation of p- and m-cresols with formation of both C- and O-alkylation products.
