Reaction Steps
In an autoclave 162 g of m-cresol, 1.6 g of aluminium grit and 0.1 g of mercury(II) chloride are heated at 200° C for 1 h. After cooling at room temperature 168 g of n-butene are added. This mixture is stirred at 200° C for 10 h. Then 10 g of 10% aqueous sodium hyroxide solution are added and the mixture is fractionated. At 142° C (12 mm Hg) 43.9 g of 3-methyl-2,6-di-s-butylphenol are obtained.
