Abstract
An aminophenol ether having the formula ##STR1## is produced by reacting an alkali aminophenolate having the formula ##STR2## wherein M represents an alkali metal atom; with an organic halide having the formula R-X wherein R represents a lower alkyl group, a lower alkenyl group or benzyl group; and X represents a halogen atom in substantially anhydrous condition in the presence of an alkali metal hydroxide and a quaternary salt selected from the group consisting of quaternary ammonium salts and quaternary phosphonium salts.
