An important reaction, the oligoaddition of ethylene oxide to the alcoholic hydroxyl group was investigated. The aralkyl alcohols were chosen as base material: (benzyl-, β-phenyl ethyl and γ-phenylpropyl) alcohols. The first members of their homologue ethoxylated series were prepared and used as standards for the determination of the average degree of Ethoxylation (IR, UV, refractive indices) and of the molar mass distribution (HPLC).
