The reaction of phenol with alcohols in the presence of aluminum phenolate leads to a mixture of 2- and 4-alkylphenols, of which the former predominate in the case of benzyl, tert-butyl, and cyclohexyl alcohols, and the latter in the case of dimethylphenyl- and diphenylmethylcarbinols. Only triphenyl(4-hydroxyphenyl)-methane is formed during the alkylation of phenol by triphenylcarbinol. In individual experiments the formation of small amounts of alkyl phenyl ethers and 2,6-dialkylphenols was observed.
