Application

3,5-Dimethylphenol was used in simultaneous determination of urinary concentrations of phenol, o-, p-, m-cresols, 1-, 2-naphthol and xylenol isomers by capillary gas chromatography. It was used as starting reagent for total synthesis of landomycin A, most potent antitumor angucycline antibiotic and optically active polypropionate units.
