Proceedings of the Indian Academy of Sciences - Section A volume 33, Article number: 88 (1951) Cite this article

Summary

The condensation of cresols with acetic, propionic and butyric acids was tried under conditions of Nencki’s reaction employing anhydrous zinc chloride as the condensing agent. Onlyo-cresol gave rise to both theortho- andpara-substituted derivatives, while them- and thep-cresols produced only theortho-substituted products. The yields varied with the duration of heating.
