FIELD: organic synthesis. SUBSTANCE: formaldehyde is used as reagent 1, magnesium compounds are used as reagent 2. Reaction is carried out at molar ratio of phenol and magnesium alcoholate being (0.9-2):1 respectively. Polar aprotic solvent and lower alkanol are used as co-solvent, their quantities being not more than 5 moles per 1 mole of magnesium compound. EFFECT: improves efficiency of the method. 13 cl
