Abstract

The invention relates to a process for synthesizing p-tert-butylbenzoic acid. The process comprises the following steps of: adding p-tert-butyltoluene and cobalt acetate into a reaction kettle, introducing oxygen-containing gas, triggering at the temperature of between 150 and 155 DEG C, performing oxidation reaction for 0.5 to 1 hour, and continuously reacting at the temperature of between 135 and 145 DEG C for more than 5 hours to obtain a p-tert-butylbenzoic acid crude product; cooling the p-tert-butylbenzoic acid crude product to crystallize, performing centrifuge dripping, and striking and washing by using p-tert-butyltoluene to obtain a centrifugation crude product; and adding the centrifugation crude product into a dissolution kettle, adding methylbenzene, raising temperature and dissolving, filtering when a mixture is hot to remove impurities, adding water to wash, transferring materials to a recrystallization kettle, cooling to crystallize, centrifuging, striking and washing by using methylbenzene, and drying to obtain a p-tert-butylbenzoic acid finished product. The prepared p-tert-butylbenzoic acid is white crystals and does not contain mechanical impurities; and the melting point is 164.0 to 167.0 DEG C, the acid value is 312 to 316mgKOH / g, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) purity is more than or equal to 99.2 percent, moisture is less than or equal to 0.08 percent, and methylbenzene is less than or equal to 0.05 percent.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a kind of synthetic technology of organic intermediate, relate in particular to a kind of preparation technology of p-tert-butylbenzoic acid. Background technique [0002] p-tert-butylbenzoic acid (PTBA) is an important intermediate in organic synthesis. It can be used as a nucleating agent for polypropylene, a modifier for the production of alkyd resin, its amine salt can be used as a preservative, its barium salt, sodium salt, and zinc salt can be used as a lubricating oil additive, and it is also used for the production of p-tert-butylbenzoic acid The main raw material of methyl ester. [0003] The production methods of PTBA mainly include electrochemical oxidation, high temperature gas phase oxidation, and low temperature liquid phase oxidation. The electrochemical oxidation method has little pollution and a yield of less than 30%, which is not suitable for large-scale industrial production. The reaction temperat...
