Reaction Steps

The reaction mixture formed by the acid-decomposition contains not only resorcin, acetone and the inert solvent used but also various by-products, for example, carbinols such as m-isopropyl-α,α-dimethylbenzyl alcohol, m-acetyl-α,α-dimethylbenzyl alcohol and m-hydroxy-α,α-dimethylbenzyl alcohol, olefins such as m-isopropenylphenol, m-isopropenylacetophenone and m-isopropenylcumene, peroxides which are estimated to have been formed by condensation reaction between carbinols or olefins and hydroperoxides, m-isopropylphenol, m-hydroxyacetophenone, and high-boiling-point condensates.
