Al3+-exchanged montmorillonite as an effective solid catalyst for selective synthesis of alkylphenols and bisphenols

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1996.59

Al³⁺-Exchanged montmorillonite-catalyzed aromatic alkylation of phenol with aldehydes produces the corresponding bisphenols mainly or almost solely in good yields, while that with ketones affords selectively the corresponding alkylphenols in mo
