The high-molecular-weight products formed from phenol and toluene on zeolite-containing catalyst were isolated and studied. By independent synthesis, and by PMR, /sup 13/C NMR, IR, and TLC methods it was shown that these products are hydroxy- and dihydroxydiphenyl-methane type compounds. The role of hydroxy- and dihydroxydiphenylmethanes as intermediates in cresol formation from phenol and toluene and their high coking activity were proved. A probable mechanism of cresol formation was proposed with the participation of hydroxy- and dihydroxydiphenylmethanes in the reaction of phenol with toluene on zeolites.
