5-INDANOL

Описание

5-Indanol, mp 54–55 ℃, bp 255 ℃, is produced from indan [496-11-7] by a sulfonation–alkali-fusion process. A synthesis for 1,1,3,3-tetraalkylindanols was developed by Bayer, which involves the reaction of isoolefins with secondary alkenylphenols (or compounds generating them under the reaction conditions) at 100–250 ℃ and in the presence of acidic catalysts. An example is the reaction of isobutene with bisphenol A in the presence of acid-activated clays which yields 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-5-indanol [53718-26-6], mp 115 ℃, bp (2.66 kPa) 156 ℃, in a yield of 80% of the theoretical, and 4-tert-butylphenol as a coproduct.
