Alkylation of phenol by myrtenol in the presence of aluminum phenoxide and aluminum isopropoxide was studied in the temperature range 120-160 degrees C. The reaction occurred with the formation of an array of alkylated phenols. Isomerization of the terpene substituent as a result of rearrangements of the bicyclic myrtenol structure was observed. The side reaction of myrtenol reduction occurred during the alkylation in the presence of aluminum isopropoxide. A significant number of compounds with two aromatic moieties was formed in the presence of aluminum phenoxide.
