Reaction Steps

2-n-Propylphenol (5 mol, 681 g), dry Amberlyst 15 (50 g) and tripropylene (5.5 mol, 694 g, 951 ml) were placed in a 3000 ml 3N RBF. The mixture was heated and maintained at 120° C. under vigorous stirring for 7 hrs. After cooling to ambient temperature, the reaction mixture was filtered and distilled to obtain 2-n-propyl-4-nonylphenol in vacuo (135-150° C. at 0.5-2 T). Total 960 g of 2-n-propyl-4-nonylphenol was obtained as amber oils (71% yield with 95% plus purity).
