Abstract
Abstract A method of producing a condensation product by reacting together an aromatic hydrocarbon with a carbonyl compound having more than one carbon atom (therefore excluding formaldehyde) in the presence of aluminium chloride or bromide, at a temperature of from 5 DEG to 90 DEG C. The aluminium chloride or bromide should be substantially anhydrous. The aromatic hydrocarbon should be mono- or bi-nuclear and may be alkylated. The carbonyl compound may be an aldehyde or a betone and may be albyl or aryl.
