A study has been made of the reaction of a number of five- and six-mem
bered alkyl- and alkenylcyclenes with methylphenols in the presence of
cationite KU-23 in H form, The optimum alkylation conditions have bee
n determined, ensuring a cyclene conversion of 70-80% and a monosubsti
tuted cresol yield of up to 90% of the alkylate. Copyright (C) 1996 El
