Because the use of olefins improves the quality of the alkylphenol in additives which depend on the quality of the alkylphenol, the composition of the products obtained by alklation of phenol with the proposed olefinic raw material is investigated, in order to determine the relationships governing the formation and rearrangement of alkyl phenyl ethers. The process of alkylation is examined using ion exchange resins, which have come into extensive use as catalysts for the alkylation of phenol by olefins. Tests show that the use of the resin with the greater surface area as the catalyst gives a more nearly complete rearrangement of the aklyl phenyl ethers at temperatures of plus 130/sup 0/C.
