The reaction of 2,3-dimethylphenol with [Fe(DMF)3Cl2][FeCl4] complex in different molar ratios yields diarylmethanes, 4-(2'-hydroxy-3',4'-dimethylbenzyl)-2,3-dimethylphenol (2), 6-(2'-hydroxy-3',4'-dimethylbenzyl)-2,3-dimethylphenol (4) and 4-(4'-hydroxy-2',3'-dimethylbenzyl)-2,3-dimethylphenol (5) in addition to 4,4'-dihydroxy-2,2',3,3'-tetramethylbiphenyl (3) and their polymeric products. The dimeric products have been characterized by IR, MS and 1H NMR spectra.
