Abstract
The oxidation of 2,3,6-trimethylphenol with O-2 is catalysed by molybd ovanadophosphate heteropolyanions in a two-phase aqueous-organic syste m to yield 84% trimethyl-p-benzoquinone; the product can be easily iso lated from the organic phase, while the aqueous phase, containing the catalyst, can be re-used without loss of activity.
