The alkylphenol was synthesized by alkylation of hydro-
genated cardanol (3.3 mmol) with tert-amyl chloride (3.4
mmol) in the presence of Lewis acid (zinc chloride).
The reagents were dissolved in chloroform (20 mL), and
the mixture was heated under reflux during 4 h until the
reaction was completed (monitored by thin-layer chroma-
tography). After 4 h, when no more significant changes in
the reaction were observed, the mixture was poured into a
separatory funnel, washed with 5% aqueous sodium
bicarbonate and then with water. The organic phase was
separated, dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and
evaporated under reduced pressure. A yield of 82% was
reached, and the product was purified through a silica gel
chromatographic column using solution of hexane/chloro-
form (80:20). The product was characterized using 1H
NMR and IR [14, 25].

Synthesis of organophosphate
The organophosphate was synthesized by nucleophilic sub-
stitution (SN2). The stoichiometry ratio of the reaction sys-
tem was of 1.0 mol of alkylphenol:1.0 mol of sodium
hydroxide:1.0 mol of DECP, respectively. The reagents
were dissolved in chloroform (20 mL), and the mixture was
heated under the reflux system with constant agitation at
60 °C ( 1 °C) for 1 h and 35 min. After the reaction time, a
viscous yellow oil was obtained [12, 18]. A yield of 74% was
reached, and the product was purified through a silica gel
chromatographic column using solution of hexane/chloro-
form (70:30). The product was characterized using 1H, 13C,
31P NMR, GC–MS, TG–DTG, and DSC [26].
Figures 3 and 4 show thermogravimetric analysis of
organophosphate. According to the results, it is noteworthy
that organophosphate exhibits thermal and oxidative sta-
bilities smaller than diphenyl phosphate. Organophosphate
shows a Tonset of oxidation at 37 °C, which is 235 °C lower
than diphenylphosphate. This trend suggest that as the ratio
of alkyl (alkoxy: –OC2H5)/aryl (phenoxy: –OC6H5) groups
increases in the organophosphate molecules, oxidative
stability decreases [28]. However, after the first thermal
degradation event (47 °C (N2) and 37 °C (air)), stable
species were formed with degradation temperatures higher
than diphenyl phosphate. In previous work, similar behav-
ior was observed in molecules of the same class [27]. The
values of IPDT calculated by Doyle’s [23] method is in the
range of 360–429 °C. The value of IPDT represents an
overall thermal stability of the materials. Table 1 summa-
rizes the thermal parameters of organophosphate and
diphenyl phosphate.
