Summary By means of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC), the yields of the main reaction products and the polymeric portion formed in the reaction of guaiacylglycerol-β-guaiacyl ether (GG) under various acid-catalyzed conditions were quantified as a function of reaction time. Based on their forming sequence and reaction behavior, as well as their structural characteristics, an acid-catalyzed reaction mechanism of GG with phenol was proposed.
