Participants

Reaction Steps

Commercially available nonylphenol was mixed with 300 g isopropyl alcohol and 60 g of 50% NaOH to give a homogeneous solution. Allyl chloride (80 ml=1.2 equiv.) was added dropwise at 40° C. over 20 minutes. The mixture was digested five hours at 75° C. Water, 150 g, was added to dissolve the precipitated salt. The resulting mixture separated into two phases. The top layer was stripped of solvent to give 197 g crude product of hydroxyl value 0.19 meq/g. Conversion was calculated to be 95%.
