As regards the aromatic ring substitution reactions of various kinds of phenols with tung oil under acidic conditions, an investigation was made on the influences of the kinds and substitution positions of alkyl groups of the phenlos on the reaction. Alkyl phenols increased in reactivity in the order of ortho, meta, and para in the position of alkyl substitution. This can be attributed to the preferential para addition of tung oil to the phenol nucleus as reported in the previous paper. The larger alkyl group gave increased reactivities in the reactions of alkyl phenols with tung oil. This has something to do with compatibilities between phenols and tung oil (differences in solubility parameter between phenols and tung oil).
