Abstract

A catalyst useful for the condensation of an aldehyde or ketone starting material with a phenol is an insoluble mercaptosulfonic acid compound. The heterogeneous catalysts comprise catalytically-active species represented by the formula: ##STR1## L is an optional linking group and -- is a bond, which catalytically-active species is attached by the bond -- to an insoluble organic or inorganic support; PA1 or a catalytically-active species represented by the formula: ##STR2## wherein L' is an optional linking group, -- is a bond and .theta.' and .theta." are residues of .theta., and a and b are independently selected from integers equal to or greater than 1.
