Procedure

An alkylphenol was made by alkylating a phenol with a propylene pentamer commercially available from Chevron Oronite Company LLC. The propylene pentamer was obtained as the bottoms product of the distillation of propylene oligomer derived from an oligomerization process that employed a bulk liquid phosphoric acid catalyst. The propylene pentamer had an initial boiling point of 236.5° C. and a final boiling point of 295.2° C. and the following carbon number distribution as set forth below in Table 1.
