Abstract

2-Alkyl-and 2, 6-dialkyl-4-isopropenylphenols were prepared by cleavage of the corresponding 4, 4'-isopropylidenebisphenols, catalyzed with sodium hydroxide, sodium, or butyllithium. Reaction of hydrogen chloride with 2-methyl-and 2, 6-dimethyl-4- isopropenylphenol yielded derivatives of 1, 1, 3-trimethyl-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-indanol. The products were characterized by the NMR, UV and IR spectra.
