Reaktionsschritte

7.5 mol (705 g) phenol and 0.15 mol (30.3 g) dodecylthiol are introduced into a 1-liter round-bottomed flask equipped with a stirrer, dropping funnel, thermometer, reflux condenser and gas inlet pipe and saturated with dry HCl gas at 28° to 30° C. A solution of 1.5 mol (210 g) dihydroisophorone (3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexan-1-one) and 1.5 mol (151 g) phenol is added dropwise to the resulting solution over a period of 3 hours, HCl gas continuing to be passed through the reaction solution. After the addition, HCl gas is introduced for another 5 hours. The mixture is then left to react for 8 hours at room temperature. The excess phenol is then removed by steam distillation. The residue is hot-extracted twice with petroleum ether (60-90) and once with methylene chloride and filtered off. Yield: 370 g, Mp: 205°-207° C.
