Process for producing low temperature stable tert-butylphenyl diphenyl phosphate

A process for producing tert-butylphenyl diphenyl phosphate which is stable at low temperature by a process wherein phenol is butylated to produce tert-butylphenol which is isomerized to produce mixed meta and para isomers thereof, and which thereafter is alkylated with isobutylene to produce tert-b...

Zusammenfassung:A process for producing tert-butylphenyl diphenyl phosphate which is stable at low temperature by a process wherein phenol is butylated to produce tert-butylphenol which is isomerized to produce mixed meta and para isomers thereof, and which thereafter is alkylated with isobutylene to produce tert-butylphenol having a C4/ phi ratio of about 0.62. The tert-butylphenol is then phosphorylated to the tert-butylphenyl diphenyl phosphate meta/para mixture with phosphorus oxychloride. The disclosed process provides a tert-butylphenyl diphenyl phosphate which will not freeze or gel at low temperatures.
