The synthesis 2-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol is of great significance because its wide application in industry, and the development a highly efficient catalyst necessary for alkylation p-cresol tert-butyl alcohol. Here, an mild method was established. Caprolactam chosen as hydrogen-bonding acceptor; p-toluenesulfonic acid employed donor, deep eutectic solvent (DES) prepared to catalyze reaction. s...
