4-Isopropylphenol → 2-Isododecyl-4-isopropylphenol

Participants

Reaction Steps

15 g of aluminium is dissolved in 2,720 g (20 moles) of para-isopropylphenol in a five-necked flask having an inner capacity of 5,000 ml, followed by reaction with 1,176 g (7 moles) of isododecene (propylene tetramer) in the same manner as in Example 2 to obtain 1,608 g of 2-isododecyl-4-isopropylphenol. This product has a hydroxyl value of 184.0 (the theoretical: 184.3) and a boiling point of 152° C. to 160° C. under a vacuum of 1.2 Torr.
