Cycloalkylphenols: Synthesis, Properties, and Application
摘要
Cycloalkylphenols are widely used as raw materials in the production of various industrial products, such as surfactants, detergents, phenolic resins, polymer additives, and lubricants. The current global demand for these organic compounds is estimated to be approximately 400 000 t/year. Given their significant importance in practical applications, the development of effective and environmentally friendly methods for synthesizing cycloalkylphenols, the use of efficient catalysts in these reactions, and the determination of optimal conditions for carrying out these processes are urgent tasks in the fields of petrochemistry and organic synthesis at this stage. In the presented work, we review the results of studies in the field of cycloalkylation of phenols and their derivatives, and we also present the findings from our own research.
