Abstract

The reactivity of several phenols toward liquid phase alkylation with cyclohexene in the presence of heterogeneous and homogeneous acid catalyst at 358K is studied. The comparison between Amberlyst 15 and CH3SO3H, as examples of heterogeneous and homogeneous systems, shows a higher activity of the former with different behavior of selectivity between the two systems, anyway, in both systems O-alkylation and ring ...
