The structure of the monoalcohol of 3 : 5‐dimethylphenol, first made by von Auwers and believed to be a para‐substituted derivative, has now been confirmed. The synthesis of a new dialcohol, which has been characterized as an ortho‐ortho compound, is described. The effect of reaction conditions on the position of methylol substitution is discussed. It has been shown that during characterization of the monoalcohol, by pyrolysis with lime, methyl migration may occur.
