Abstract:
Styrenated phenol was prepared by an alkylation of phenol using NiCl2 and AlCl3 supported on silica gel. The conversion of phenol and styrene of alkylation reaction, and the selectivity of styrenated phenol were investigated. The Al · Ni/SiO2 Supported catalyst was used, the conversion of phenol was almost 100%. The product was in the form of a mixture of mono-styrenated phenol, di-styrenated phenol and tri-styrenated phenol. The styrenated phenol were selectivity of the varies depending on the reaction conditions.

Structure and Nomenclature of Alcohols and Phenols
Alcohols are one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry. The name of alcohol comes from the hydrocarbon from which it is derived. Alcohols are organic molecules containing the functional hydroxyl or –OH group directly bonded to carbon. Phenols have an OH group directly attached to a benzene ring. While alcohols are colorless, phenol is a white crystalline compound with a characteristic "hospital smell" odor.
As with other organic compounds, alcohols and...

Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.
