That doesn't sound like a great reaction. Is there a reference for that? |

Well, that reaction definitely should not be performed by a novice. Also, it sounds technically challenging. I'd say get some help in person from a trained organic chemist. Which phenol do you want to alkoxylate? Ethylene oxide doesn't sound fun to handle. It's a flammable gas. I wouldn't do this in the lab myself, and I have quite a bit of experience. Can't you find some other way to make the compound you want? What is that compound, anyways? |

Thanks for your concern. Actually, i would like to produce alkoxylated phenol, such as phenol with n mole(EO/PO). The phenol I aimed is pure phenol. I just to make sure if the alkoxylation can be carried out in the lab. After that, I will run the sulfonation of alpha olefin(C14/16) to get olefin sulfonic acid. Then I will use the olefin sulfonic acid to akylate and sulfonate the alkoxylated phenol. The final product is alkoxylated alkylphenol sulfonic acid. |

I'm sorry, I don't understand your terminology. Can you use proper IUPAC names? At any rate, I do not recommend this procedure. Also, I don't understand what you mean by "sulfonation of alpha olefin". That doesn't make any sense at all. |
