A preferred manner of practicing this invention constitutes heating a solventless mixture of Bisphenol A and cyanide ion in a closed vessel to about 185° C. and maintaining that temperature for about 20 hours to produce 4-(1-cyano-1-methylethyl)phenol. Preferred conversions and yields based on Bisphenol A are about 100 percent and 80 percent respectively.
