title: Multiphase telomerisation of butadiene with phenol: optimisation and scale-up in different reactor types.
abstract: The telomerisation with phenol is an efficient way to convert the well accessible 1,3-butadiene into products of higher value. This article describes the optimisation of this reaction both on a laboratory scale using a novel multiphase semi-batch mode and in a loop reactor as an alternative concept for a continuous operation mode. The optimised parameters are applied in a miniplant offering an interesting salt-free route to octadienylphenols.
