In general the present invention concerns a method for conversion of particular 4-alkyl-2- hydroxyphenols and 4-alkyl-2-alkoxyphenols into 3-alkylphenols. More specifically, this invention relates to a novel process of selectively forming meta-alkyl phenols of various alkylphenols, such as for instance converting the fraction of 4-alkyl-2-hydroxyphenols and 4- alkyl-2-alkoxyphenols into high yields of 3-alkylphenols.
