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.
