Synthesis of Terpenylcyclohexanol from O-Cresol with H-Mordenite as Catalyst

O-cresol was mixed and reacted with camphene in the presence of the H-mordenite as catalysts to form the alkylation products named terpenophenol, and the terpenophenol was hydrogenated with the help of the catalyst to form a perfume intermediates of terpenylcyclohexanol. In this paper, the influence of reaction temperature and material ratio on alkylation and the hydrogenation were investigated.
