Alkylation of phenol with C2 and C3 alcohols over iron catalyst

Research on Chemical Intermediates Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The results of research on catalytic alkylation of phenol with ethyl, n- and iso-propyl alcohols conducted in gas phase in presence of iron catalyst are presented. We found that C2 and C3 alcohols exhibit high selectivity of ortho-alkylation, for ethanol — 99%, for n-propanol and for iso-propanol — up to 92% in the investigated conditions of reaction.
