Abstract
The gas-phase alkylation of m-cresol (3-methylphenol) with n- and iso-propa nol was investigated. The reactions were carried out in a continuous proces s at atmospheric pressure over an iron catalyst that contains Cr, Si and K oxides. It is possible to obtain n- and iso-propyl derivatives of m-cresol with satisfactory selectivity.
