The etherification of phenol and substituted phenols, such as o-chlorophenol, o-ethylphenol and guaiacol and a-and 13-naphthols with isobutylene and isoamylene was studied. The etherification was carried out in the presence of an acidic ion exchange resin, Amberlyst 15, as a catalyst and in the temp
