production method | is prepared by reacting phenol with methanol at 530 ° C. Under the catalysis of activated alumina. Phenol is dissolved in methanol and added dropwise to activated alumina at a temperature of 530 ° C. (the granular catalyst is filled in a quartz tube and heated in a tube furnace), and the gas generated by the reaction is cooled from the outlet of the reaction tube, it was collected in the receiver, and after completion of the reaction, the receiver product was filtered off, washed with methanol, and repacked with ethanol to obtain hexamethylbenzene. |
