Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing 2,5-dimethyl phenol through the direct catalytic hydroxylation of p-xylene. In the method, acetonitrile is taken as a solvent, H2O2 is taken as a hydroxylation reagent, C.I. pigment green 8 is taken as a catalyst, the p-xylene is subjected to one-step catalytic hydroxylation at the temperature of between 40 and 70 DEG C for 4 to 7 hours to form the 2,5-dimethyl phenol, and the mass ratio of reaction materials, namely the H2O2 to the acetonitrile to the C.I. pigment green 8 to the p-xylene is (6-9):(15-30):(0.05-0.2):1. The catalyst is readily available, a few reaction steps are performed, the H2O2 can be fully utilized, the solvent can be recycled, and a few three wastes (waste water, waste gas and waste residues) are generated; and the catalytic hydroxylation operation process is easy to implement.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the preparation method of aromatic phenolic compounds, and particularly proposes a method for preparing 2,5-dimethylphenol by direct catalytic hydroxylation of p-xylene. Background technique [0002] 2,5-Dimethylphenol is an important intermediate in organic synthesis. Mainly used in the production of hypolipidemic drug gemfibrozil, rubber anti-aging agent, developer, and dye intermediates. There are some reports in the literature on the synthesis of 2,5-dimethylphenol from p-xylene. For example, Tang Weiping uses p-xylene as raw material to synthesize 2,5-dimethylphenol through sulfonation and alkali fusion (chemical reagents, 1999, 21 (6): 382); , 5-dimethylnitrobenzene, and then palladium carbon-ammonium formate catalyzed hydrogen transfer reduction reaction, diazotization, and hydrolysis to finally obtain 2,5-dimethylphenol (Fine Chemical Intermediates, 2005, 35 (1): 38-39). However, these methods have the problems of m...
