Essentially phenol-free phenol resol ethers which are bonded via o,o′-methylene ether groups are prepared by a process in which A. where the process is carried out beginning with the methylolation in an aqueous medium, the methylolation is carried out in the presence of 0.5-10% by weight, based on the phenol employed, of Me++ions, the latter are then removed as a sparingly soluble salt, the water present as a solvent in the reaction mixture is removed at 30°-80°C. in the presence or absence of one or more monohydric, dihydric or trihydric alcohols and an entraining agent, and the water of reaction formed during the etherification is separated off at 45°-120°C., and B. where the process is carried out beginning with the methylolation in a non-polar organic solvent, the methylolation is carried out in the presence of 0.1-0.3% by weight, based on the phenol employed, of Me++ions, the etherification is effected at 95°-120°C. in the presence of one or more monohydric, dihydric or trihydric alcohols, with or without recycling of the distillate which passes over, and finally residual phenol in the products prepared by A. or B. is removed by evaporation in a thin film evaporator until the phenol content is less than 1% by weight. The phenol resol ethers prepared according to the invention are useful for the preparation of coating systems and for adhesives.

A process for the preparation of an essentially phenol-free phenol resol ether, which is bonded via o,o′-methylene ether groups, from phenol or m-alkyl-substituted phenol or a mixture of phenol and m-alkyl-substituted phenols, or a mixture of phenol and m-alkylated phenol and other alkylphenols, and

A process for the preparation of an essentially phenol-free phenol resol ether, which is bonded via o,o′-methylene ether groups, from phenol or m-alkyl-substituted phenol or a mixture of phenol and m-alkyl-substituted phenols, or a mixture of phenol and m-alkylated phenol and other alkylphenols, and formaldehyde or a formaldehyde donor in the presence of Me++ions, and subsequent etherification with a monohydric, dihydric or trihydric alcohol, wherein A. where the process is carried out beginning with methylolation in an aqueous medium: a1 the methylolation is carried out in the presence of 0.5-10% by weight, based on the phenol used, of Me++ions, a2 the Me++ions are then removed as a sparingly soluble salt, and a3 the water present as a solvent in the reaction mixture is removed at 30°-80°C. in the presence or absence of one or more monohydric, dihydric or trihydric alcohols and an entraining agent, and the water of reaction formed during the etherification is separated off at 45°-120°C., the water present as a solvent and the reaction water formed during the etherification being removed stepwise; B. where the process is carried out beginning with methylolation in a nonpolar organic solvent: b1 the methylolation is carried out in the presence of 0.1-0.3% by weight, based on the phenol used, of Me++ions, and b2 the etherification is effected at 95°-120°C. in the presence of one or more monohydric, dihydric or trihydric alcohols, with or without recycling of the distillate which passes over; and finally, the residual amounts of phenol in the products prepared according to A. or B. are removed by evaporation in a thin film evaporator until the phenol content is less than 1% by weight.
