he obtains [[red underline]] Novolak [[/red underline]]. He should also react with [[red underline]] CH2Cl2 on dioxydiphenylmethane [[/red underline]] to obtain bakelite or Novolak  
Told him also to react with [[red underline]] hexamethylentetramin triphenol directly on cresyl or phenylphosphate, [[/red underline]] heating with a certain amount to drive off NH3 then add the remainder of the cresyl or [[red underline]] phenylphosphate [[/red underline]] preliminarily well cooled off sufficiently to master the reaction by its cooling effect. 
March 19. Dioxydiphenylethane + paraform [[red underline]] gives Novolak [[/red underline]] and the latter treated with more [[/red underline]] paraform or hexa gives bakelite. [[/red underline]] In the first reaction paraform can be replaced with hexa. This is the report of Gothelf about the experiments I ordered him to carry out.
