Abstract

Indanyl o-cresol has been obtained in high yield by the reaction of o-cresol with indene in the presence of p-toluenesulphonic acid as catalyst. The effects of variation of temperature, molar ratio of o-cresol to indene, time of reaction and amount of the catalyst have been investigated on the reaction. The yield of the product increased with the increase of each of the above mentioned parameters. Optimum conditions of the reaction for the production of indanyl o-cresol were temperature, 130°C; molar ratio of o-cresol to indene, 12:1; amount of catalyst, 8% by wt. of o-cresol; time of addition, 2h and time of stirring, 1h.

Key words: o-Cresol; Indene; p-Toluenesulphonic acid; Indanyl o-Cresol; Spectral analyses
