Abstract From the Canadian patent

By reacting a phenol compound with an organic halide selected from the group consisting of a haloform a carbon tetrahalide and a substituted or unsubstituted allyl halide in the presence of an alkali metal hydroxide, using as a catalyst a fixed cyclodextrin having hydroxyl groups crosslinked with a bivalent hydrocarbon group having free valences at its both ends said hydrocarbon group having at least one hydrogen atom substituted or unsubstituted with a member selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group a halogen atom, and a hydroxyl group and containing or not containing at least one combination of two neighboring carbon atoms having therebetween at least one member selected from …
