Y. Takizawa et al., HYDROXYLATION OF PHENOLIC-COMPOUNDS UNDER THE CONDITION OF ULTRASOUNDIN AQUEOUS-SOLUTION, Ultrasonics sonochemistry, 3(3), 1996, pp. 201-204
Ultrasound (200 kHz)-assisted hydroxylation of phenolic compounds, suc
h as phenol, 4-methyl phenol, 4-hydroxyanisol, 2-naphthol, catechol, r
esorcinol, 3-t-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole, 3-methyl-4-hydroxyanisole, in a
queous solution was successfully carried out in 12-18 h to give the hy
droxylated products which were identified as their respective acetates
.
