Methylation of phenolic hydroxyl group and demethylation of anisoles
Sato, Nobuhiro,Endo, Hiroyuki
experimental part, p. 229 - 230 (2009/12/03)
A mild methylation of phenolic hydroxyl groups with iodomethane was enabled in the presence of sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide at room temperature. The reverse reaction, namely demethylation of methyl phenyl ethers, was easily achieved by microwave heating with neat iodotrimethylsilane.
ALKYLATION OF PHENOL BY CHLOROALKANES IN THE PRESENCE OF ALUMINUM PHENOLATE

The alkylation of phenol by benzyl chloride, 1-chloroadamantane, and tert-butyl chloride in the presence of aluminum phenolate leads to a mixture of the corresponding 2- and 4-alkylphenols and 2,6-dialkylphenols, in which the 2-alkylphenol usually predominates.During the alkylation of phenol by 2-chlorooctane 2- and 4-(3-octyl)phenols and 2- and 3-octyl phenyl ethers are formed in addition to 2- and 4-(2-octyl)phenols.

Equilibria of a series of isomerizations and trans-alkylations of alkylphenols have been investigated in the liquid phase over a wide range of temperatures.Equilibria of isomerizations connected with the displacement of a substituent on a benzene nucleus were studied for secondary-butyl, -amyl, -hexyl, and cyclohexyl-phenols, and di-(secondary-butyl)phenols.Equilibria of positional isomerization connected with the displacement of an oxyphenyl radical in an alkyl chain were investigated for oxyphenyl-pentanes, -hexanes, -octanes, and -decanes.Trans-alkylation was investigated for di- and tri-(secondary-butyl)phenols.Values of ΔrH0m and ΔrS0m were found for all investigated reactions.An analysis was made of the thermodynamic quantities for the reactions.Enthalpies of formation of isopropylphenols (IPP) in the gaseous state were calculated.The values of ΔfH0m/(kJ * mol-1) were found at 298.15 K: o-IPP, -(175.3 +/- 2.4); p-IPP, -(175.3 +/- 2.4); m-IPP, -(175.3 +/-2.4); 2,4-di-IPP, -(254.1 +/- 2.8); 2,5-di-IPP, -(254.1 +/- 2.8); 2,6-di-IPP, -(254.1 +/- 2.8); 3,5-di-IPP, -(254.1 +/- 2.8); 2,4,6-tri-IPP, -(333.0 +/- 3.1).
REACTION OF PHENOL WITH 1-OCTYNE IN THE PRESENCE OF ALUMINUM PHENOLATE
Kozlikovskii, Ya. B.,Koshchii, V. A.,Butov, S. A.
, p. 1713 - 1716 (2007/10/02)
The reaction of phenol with 1-octyne in the presence of aluminum phenolate leads to a mixture of the corresponding 2,2-di(hydroxyphenyl)octanes and substituted chromans and chromenes.At temperatures above 160 deg C 2- and 4-(2-octyl)phenols are also forme
Solvolysis of N-n-Alkylacridiniums in Phenol and Carboxylic Acids. Primary Carbonium Ions as Possible Intermediates

, p. 3511 - 3517 (2007/10/02)
N-n-Octyl (1a) and N-n-dodecylacridinium (1b) ions solvolyze in phenol to give mixtures of the n-alkyl phenyl ethers and all the isomeric secondary straight-chain o- and p-alkylphenols.Solvolyses of 1a in carboxylic acids give a mixture of 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-octyl carboxylic esters.Structures are deduced by GC/MS.Mechanisms are discussed.
