Product Name:4-Cyclohexylphenol
CAS Number:1131-60-8
Molecular formula:C12H16O
Molecular Weight:176.25

4-Cyclohexylphenol is obtained by hydroalkylation of phenol using phenol as a raw material in the presence of a palladium catalyst and a molten salt (NaCl-AlCl3)^[1]. The specific synthesis steps are as follows:
The hydroalkylation of phenol in the presence of palladium catalyst and fused salt (NaCl-AlCl3) under hydrogen pressure was carried out. By using 1% Pd-Al2O3 (1 g) and the fused salt (1 : 1 mol ratio, 6 g), 4-cyclohexylphenol was obtained selectively from 1 (30 g) in a yield of 31.9% at 120°C for 4.5 h.
