Vapour-Phase Selective <i>O</i>-Methylation of Catechol with Methanol over Metal Phosphate Catalysts

Guaiacol (2-methoxyphenol), an important fine chemical intermediate, is conventionally synthesized by liquid-phase processes with expensive, corrosive and toxic methylating agents such as dimethyl sulphate and dimethyl iodide. Recently, vapour-phase alkylation of catechol (1, 2-dihydroxybenzene) wit...
