ABSTRACT:
The production of a 2-lower alkyl phenol, e.g., 2-cresol or 2-ethylphenol, is carried out by transalkylation of a lower alkyl phenyl ether, e.g. anisole or phenetole, at an elevated temperature in the presence of a medium pore, pentasil-type molecular sieve, e.g. an H-ZSM-5 zeolite, a silicalite or an AMS-1B borosilicate, as catalyst.
