Methylphenol - Reference Information
| EPA chemical substance information | information provided by: ofmpeb.epa.gov (external link) |
| Use | cresol can be used in the synthesis of materials auxiliaries and dye intermediates. used as raw material of synthetic resin, insulating paint, antioxidant, also used as disinfectant and solvent used in phenolic resin, electrical insulating paint, tricresyl phosphate, dye, surfactant, flotation agent, lubricant additive, enamel solvents, preservatives, cold-proof plastic plasticizers, cracking dispersants and sebacic acid in the production process of solvents. The bactericidal power of cresol is 4 times that of phenol, and soap water is usually added to the mixed cresol to emulsify, that is, to form the disinfectant LyX water. The separation of O-, m-and p-cresol from mixed cresol, including the mixture of m-cresol, has a wide range of applications in organic synthesis. solvent, Disinfection preservative, bactericidal for 4 times of carbolic acid. Synthetic resin. |
| identification | 1. Take the saturated aqueous solution of this product and add ferric chloride solution, which is the purple blue color that is easy to disappear. 2. Take the saturated solution of this product and add bromine test solution to precipitate light yellow flocculent precipitate. |
| production method | There are many methods for synthesizing cresol, and the content of isomers in the products obtained by each method is also different. The process of toluene sulfonation is similar to that of benzene sulfonation to phenol. Toluene was first sulfonated to give toluene sulfonic acid, and the molten sulfonated product was then treated with sodium hydroxide to give the sodium salt of cresol. The sodium salt is mixed with water and acidified by the addition of sulfur dioxide or by the addition of sulfuric acid to give cresol. After the moisture of the crude cresol was distilled off under a low degree of vacuum, a fraction of 150-200 ° C. Was collected under a vacuum of (80-93.3kPa) to obtain mixed cresol. Among them, the ratio of the Ortho, Inter and the three isomers varies with the reaction conditions. In general, the para position is the most, the meta position is less, and the ortho position is less. This method consumes 30% of toluene and 5000 of liquid alkali per ton of mixed cresol. 2. Methyl isopropyl benzene oxidation method this is the United States of the United States hergris explosives company to use the method. Toluene was alkylated with propylene to give a mixture of methyl isopropylbenzene with a ratio of 2.5 to 3:1 of Inter, para and steric isomers, in which the ortho isomer was small. Methyl cumene is then oxidized to methyl cumene peroxide at 25-35 °c by introduction of an oxygen-containing gas, which is then treated with sulfuric acid to obtain cresol rich in meta-isomer and para-isomer, and acetone is co-produced. This method is similar to the process of producing phenol and acetone by cumene method. The method of coal tar fractionation is obtained by fractionation of crude phenol, which is a by-product of high temperature coking. |
