Introduction | 2, 4-dimethylphenol can be used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and a pharmaceutical intermediate, it can be used to synthesize an asymmetric hindered phenol antioxidant and bulk drug vortioxetine. |
preparation | CN201810102442.5 provides a separation process for extracting 2, 4-dimethylphenol from crude phenol. The specific steps are as follows:(1) distillation separation-using crude phenol as raw material and preheating method, m-cresol and p-cresol are separated from the top of the distillation column by continuous distillation, 4-dimethyl phenol, 2,5-dimethyl phenol and high boiling substance, enter the second step of distillation and separation;(2) distillation and separation: continuously pump the materials in the distillation and separation tower into the second column of distillation and separation, and adopt preheating method, 2,4-dimethyl phenol and 2,5-dimethyl phenol are continuously produced at the top of the column by continuous distillation method, which is used for the alkylation synthesis of three steps;(3) alkylation synthesis of three distillation separation of 2,4-dimethyl phenol and 2,5-dimethyl phenol as raw materials, the use of solid super acid ZSM-5 as Catalyst, the use of solid bed, the amount of 5%, excess isobutylene, reaction temperature 60~65 ℃, reaction pressure 0.1MPa, the formation of mono-tert 2, 4-dimethylphenol and mono-tert-butyl 2, 5-dimethylphenol;(4) distillation separation of four mono-tert -2, 4-dimethylphenol and mono-tert-butyl 2, 5-dimethylphenol by preheating, through continuous distillation separation, through the top of the column to take out mono-tert-butyl 2,4-dimethyl phenol, enter the five steps of Deene separation, distillation and separation of four tower kettle The resulting mono-tert-butyl 2, 5-dimethylphenol enters into the six steps of Deene separation;(5) Deene separation: 5. The single-tert-butyl 2 produced at the top of the four columns is separated by distillation, 4-dimethyl phenol as raw material, add 0.1% sulfuric acid, temperature 130~150 ℃, Deene isobutylene, back alkylation synthesis of three steps to use, Deene 2,4-dimethyl phenol, purity ≥ 99.9%. |
