The catalytic activity of the resins was evaluated from results obtained in alkylation of phenol by n-nonene and n-decene. The contents of olefins, phenol, sec-alkyl phenyl ethers, o- and p-sec-alkylphenols, and dialkylphenols in the alkylated products were determined by gas-liquid chromatography. The effect rate constant of alkylation was calculated on the basis of a second order equation. The influence of pore characteristics of sulfonated cation exchange resins was generalized on their catalytic selectivity. Optimal activity and selectivity of catalytic action in the alkylation of phenol by higher olefins were exhibited by macroporous cation exchange resins of the KU-23(10/60) type.
