Abstract

Phenols may be alkylated with monosubstituted or alpha, beta-disubstituted olefins over a silica alumina composite to afford 2,4,6-tri-sec-alkylphenols in high yields. The alkylation catalyst shows high activity and high selectivity to the 2,4,6-trialkylated product while minimizing oligomerization of the olefin. Composites containing from about 40 to about 60% silica, the remainder being alumina, are especially valuable.
