Dianmyl
Phenols (C5Hll)2
Koppers Diamyl Phenols are a mixture of dialkylated phenols, the alkyl groups of which include both the secondary and tertiary amyl isomers. T h i s mixture of high-boiling, alkylated tar acids is a straw colored, slightly viscous liquid possessing a mild phenolic odor. It undergoes reactions typical of alkylated phenols such as hydrogénation, esterification, condensation with aldehydes, and poly-ether formation. T h i s product is suggested for use as an anti-skinning agent for paints and varnishes, as a Component of oil-soluble phenolic resins, and as an intermediate in the production of synthetic detergents.
