Abstract: | Liquid-phase alkylation of p-tert-butylphenol (TBP) and p-cresol by olefins and benzyl chloride in the presence of solid heteropoly acids (HPA) H3PW12O40 and 25% H3PW12O40/SiO2 at 100–150°C provides high yields of mono- and disubstituted products. HPAs are more active than H2SO4, easily separated from the reaction mixture and can be used repeatedly. -- () - () H3PW12O40 25% H3PW12O40/SiO2 100–150°C - - . , H2SO4, - - . |
