THE INVESTIGATON OF THE REACTIONS OF <i>para</i>-(MEHYLCYCLOALKYL)PHENOLS WITH ACETIC ACID
In the article it is mentioned about the synthesis of 2-hydroxy-5-(methylcycloalkyl)acetophenones from the acylation reaction of para -(methylacycloalkyl)phenols with acetic acid in the presence of ZnCl<sub>2</sub> as a catalyst. According to our studies, it was determined that the actual yield of 2-hydroxy-5-(methylcycloalkyl)acetophenones, which are synthesized from the acylation reaction of acetic acid with para -(1-methylcyclopentyl)-, para -(1(3)methylcyclohexyl)- and para -alkylphenols which are obtained from isoprene, piperylene and cyclodimers of divinyl in the presence ZnCl<sub>2</sub> as a catalyst, are 49.3-61.4% in optimal conditions
