Abstract

Alkylation of phenol with tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) was carried out in ionic liquids [bmim]PF₆, [omim]BF₄, and [hmim]BF ₄. Comparative studies on the catalytic properties of ionic liquids, H₃PO₄ and some solid acidic catalysts, such as HZSM-5, H-β, HPW, and HPW/MCM-41, were carried out under identical reaction conditions. Solvent effect has been as well studied. The use of ionic liquids was found to enhance the catalytic properties of the catalysts used.
