Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
114 words
A method for making a methylated phenol having the formula, ##STR3## which comprises (1) pyrolyzing at a temperature in the range of from 300° C. to 700° C., a polymethylated cyclohexene-1-one having the formula ##STR4## in the presence of an effective amount of a demethanation catalyst consisting essentially of the calcination residue of a mixture of magnesium carbonate and/or magnesium hydroxide and a manganese compound (2) recovering the methylated phenol from the mixture of (1), where R is a member selected from hydrogen or methyl, R 1 is a member selected from hydroxy, --OR 3 and methyl, R 2 is selected from methyl and --OR 3 and R 3 is a C.sub.(1-6) alkyl radical.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
114 words
