Interaction of phenol with isoprene cyclodimers in the presence of zeolite Y impregnated with orthophosphoric acid
Results of examining the reaction of phenol with diprene, dipentene, and the isoprene cyclodimer fraction using orthophosphoric acid-impregnated zeolite Y as a catalyst in a continuous processing unit are presented. Optimal conditions for the synthesis of p-cycloalkylphenols have been found. It has been shown that under the optimal conditions, the yield of target p-cycloalkylphenols is 72.3-75.6% and the selectivity is 91.6-95.7%.
