Recycling of 2-methylphenol, an intermediate product in the selective ortho-methylation of phenol with methanol on a vanadium catalyst to synthesize 2,6-dimethylphenol (DMP), is investigated using a flow apparatus at atmospheric presure with 10/sup 3/ cm of catalyst. A temperature of 320/sup 0/C and a liquid reaction mixture space velocity of 0.8 hr/sup -1/ were maintained. The optimization of the reaction mixture compositions obtained in the alkylation was accomplished using the method of simplex-lattice design with experimental results represented in a ternary diagram. 4 references, 3 figures, 3 tables.
