Procedure

In this example, the procedure employed in Example 1 was repeated by passage of the mixture of air, phenol, water, and para-isopropylphenol over the pretreated catalyst, this time at a temperature of about 400°-480° C. for 37 hours. A total of 23 cuts were taken yielding a total volume of about 330 ml product whose conversions to the para-isopropenylphenol were between about 25-30%.
