Abstract
Production of bis(alpha-alkylbenzyl)ethers or substituted derivatives thereof by reaction at elevated temperature of the corresponding alpha alkylbenzyl alcohols in the presence of a particular acidic clay catalyst, quenching of the catalyst and recovery of the desired ether by distillation directly from the reaction mixture containing the quenched catalyst, is disclosed. The alkyl methylbenzyl alcohol may be present as a component of an aromatic rich distilland product mixture derived from the ethyl benzene hydroperoxide epoxidation of an olefinically unsaturated compound.
