Alkylation of phenol by nonen-1 from positions of industrial realities

Industrial operating experience of phenol alkylation process by oligomers of ethylene has shown the dif-ficult dependence of catalytic activity on conditions of process at their deviation from perfect conditions. Increase of water quantity in reaction mixture sharply reduces specific reaction rates, direct and parallel. In work the data on phenol alkylation by nonen-1 on macroporous sulphur cationite Amberlist 36 Dry is presented. The analysis of dependence of speed reactions constants from water content in system is car-ried out.
