| Overview | O-cresol, also known as O-cresol. Colorless liquid or crystalline. Miscible with alcohol, ether and chloroform. Soluble in sodium hydroxide solution. Slightly soluble in water. There is a smell of phenol. The color darkened upon exposure to air and sunlight. Toxic! Mainly acts on the central nervous system, severe or even death. |
| Application | O-cresol can be used in the manufacture of the herbicide dimethyltetrazole, the production of Sebacic acid diluent, disinfectant, pharmaceutical intermediates. It is also used in the production of resins, plasticizers, fragrances, dyes and Analytical reagents for the detection of nitrate and arsenic acid. |
| Application | is an important intermediate of pesticide herbicide, also used in the synthesis of coumarin, can also be used as disinfectant, antiseptic, the diluent in the production of Sebacic acid, etc. used in organic synthesis, also used as disinfectant and preservative used as analytical reagent, it is also used in organic synthesis GB 2760-1996 specified as the permitted use of flavorants. It is used for the manufacture of the herbicide, the diluent for the production of Sebacic acid, the disinfectant and the pharmaceutical intermediate. It is also used in the production of resins, plasticizers, fragrances, dyes and Analytical reagents for the detection of nitrate and arsenic acid. O-cresol is an intermediate of the herbicide 2me4 chloride, and is also the raw material of epoxy cresol and phenolic resin. synthetic pesticides (2me4cl), spices (salicylaldehyde), O-cresol aldehyde resin synthetic resin, can also be used for the production of pesticides dimethyl tetrachloro herbicides, medical disinfectants, spices and chemicals and antioxidants, etc |
| production method | the preparation method is phenol as raw material, using methanol as hydrocarbon agent, O-cresol can be prepared in the presence of a catalyst. Using a fixed bed tubular reactor, the reaction temperature is 335 ~ 360c, and the catalyst can be aluminum oxide or magnesium oxide, and the vanadium pentoxide-iron oxide can be used. In the reaction mixture obtained through the reactor, methanol, phenol, O-cresol and 2, 6-xylenol are fractionated, methanol and water are distilled first, and then phenol is removed and recovered, then the product is purified by distillation of O-cresol, the distillation pressure is 0.098 MPa, the temperature is 101~102 ℃, and the top of the column is distilled out of O-cresol, the content can reach more than 99.5%, the tower is 2,6-dimethyl phenol. O-cresol is also useful in the production of o-toluidine diazotization hydrolysis method. The cresol fraction cut from phenol oil obtained from coal coking contains O-cresol 6%, m-cresol 49.4%, P-cresol 32.1%, and also contains xylenol and a small amount of phenol. The boiling point of O-cresol is 10 ° C. Lower than that of P-cresol, and it is possible to separate them using a general distillation column. The O-cresol fraction cut from the crude phenol distillation is distilled in a distillation column of not less than 40 theoretical trays, the reflux ratio is 14-15:1, and the cut distillation range is 188-192 ℃, the refined O-cresol obtained has a melting point of about 29 ° C. And a purity of more than 97%. The synthesis method mainly has the following several kinds: 1. Phenol alkylation method is obtained by using phenol and methanol as raw materials, under the pressure of about 4.14MPa and in the presence of aluminum oxide catalyst. 2. O-toluidine method this method is used for reagent production, which is derived from diazotization and hydrolysis of o-toluidine. 3. Toluene hydroxylation method. The crude phenol was obtained by pre-dehydration followed by initial distillation followed by distillation under reduced pressure. |
