Abstract

Pyridinyloxphenol compounds and derivatives are prepared by reacting a 2(6)- or 4-substituted pyridine intermediate with a hydroquinone reactant and a base, an excess molar amount of base as compared to the molar amount of hydroquinone reactant being employed along with a requisite reaction temperature whereby there is formed no more than 10 mole percent of undesired 1,4-(bis(pyridinyloxy))benzene by-product after no more than about 8 hours. Treatment of the undesired by-product in a similar manner alone or by isolation and recycling in the process also results in substantial conversion of said by-product to the desired mono pyridinyloxphenol compound.
