tert.-Methylcyclohexylation of o-Cresol with Methylcyclohexanol in the Presence of Sulphuric Acid

Abstract

tert.-Methylcyclohexylo-cresol has been produced in high yield by the alkylation of o-cresol with methylcyclohexanol in the presence of
sulphuric acid. The effects of the variation of molar ratio of o-cresol to methylcyclohexanol, temperature, concentration and amount of
sulphuric acid and reaction time have been studied on the reaction to find out an optimum condition.
