M. Saha et al., ALKYLATION OF P-CRESOL WITH CYCLOHEXENE IN THE PRESENCE OF BENZENESULPHONIC, INDIAN JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY, 3(5), 1996, pp. 292-294
2-Cyclohexyl-4-metylphenol was obtained in high yield by the alkylatio
n of p-cresol with cyclohexene in the presence of benzenesulphonic aci
d. The effect of variation of parameters on the reaction has been inve
stigated. 2-Cyclohexyl-4-methylphenol was further converted to 2,6-dic
yclohexyl-4-methylphenol.
