ABSTRACT:
A yield improved process for the preparation of orthohydroxybenzyl alcohols by esterifying a phenol with boric acid, next condensing the product of esterification with either formaldehyde or a formaldehyde-generating compound, thus effecting formulation of a boric acid ester of the desired ortho-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, and thence decomposing said ester to liberate the ortho-hydroxybenzyl alcohol therefrom, the improvement which comprises preparing the boric acid/phenol esters from at least 1.1 mols of the phenol per mol of boric acid.
