Research of Acylation of 2-Hydroxy-5-methylcycloalkylphenol

The acylation reactions of alkylphenols is the one of the promising area in petroleum chemistry. They are used as the feedstock for the synthesis of high-performance thermal and photo stabilizers for polyolefin additives to oils and fuels. This book is about the acylation reaction of p-cycloalkylphenol with acetic acid in the presence of KY-23 and zinc chloride catalysts and the affects of parameters ( temperature duration mol ratio amount of catalyst) on the yield of 2-hydroxy-5-cycloalkylacetophenones.
