Abstract
1. A study has been made of the infrared and ultraviolet spectra of the alkylphenols formed in alkylation of phenol with 1-tetradecene in the presence of benzenesulfonic acid. It has been shown that four alkylphenol structures are formed as a result of alkylation: ortho-, para-, 2,4-, and 2,6-derivatives. 2. At a molar ratio of phenol to 1-tetradecene equal to 1∶1, the alkylation of the phenol ring takes place principally in the ortho position to the hydroxyl group. 3. Formation of 2,6-derivatives, with a free para position in the ring, is characteristic of olefins of normal structure; but formation of 2,4,6-derivatives is characteristic of branched olefins.
