The Nonylphenol is an organic compound of the wider family of alkylphenols. The IUPAC name of this chemical is 4-(4,6-dimethylheptan-2-yl)phenol. With the CAS registry number 25154-52-3, it is also named as Nonanal-methyl anthranilate. The classification code is skin / eye irritant and the other registry numbers are 1300-16-9 and 256459-00-4. Additionally, Nonylphenol is light yellow viscous liquid which is insoluble in water, slightly soluble in petroleum ether, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, ethanol and chloroform. It is difficult to ignite when burns. And contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Furthermore, it is moderately toxic if swallowed and severely irritating to skin and eyes.

Preparation of Nonylphenol:
It is obtained by acid-catalysed alkylation of phenol with a mixture of trimers of propene comprising about 90% nonene, about 10% octene and about 10% decene. During the oligomerisation of propene to nonene, the carbon skeleton is restratified, giving branched carbon chains. During alkylation of phenol, further restratifications occur, due to the reaction mechanism itself favouring as branched a structure as possible. Nonylphenol is then purified by distillation.
Uses of Nonylphenol:
It is widely used for production of surfactants, above all nonylphenolethoxylate. It is also used in the manufacture of oil additives, fungicide preparations and plastics and rubber. In addition, Nonylphenol has been detected widely in waste water streams across the globe, which is a concern since it is toxic to many aquatic organisms.
