Isolation and Utilization of 4-(alpha,alpha-dimethylbenzyl)phenol to Synthesis of Derivatives of Phenoxy-alkanecarbonylic Acid.

A description is given of the method of isolating 4-(alpha,alpha-dimethylbenzyl)phenol from post-phenol tar which is a waste product in the cumene method of producing phenol and acetone. The isolated phenol has been used as the starting material for synthesizing derivatives such as: esters, amides, anilides and hydrazides of 4-(alpha,alpha-dimethylbenzyl)phenoxyacetic, -alpha-propionic and -isobutyric acids.
