Reaction Steps

206 g (1 mole) of p-tert-octylphenol, 30 g (0.8 moles) of 80% paraformaldehyde and 6 g of oxalic acid dihydrate were condensed in a reactor at 85° C. for 10 hours. The reaction mixture was then heated to 170° C. to dehydrate it and thereby to give a p-tert-octylphenol/formaldehyde condensate.
