Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing o-nitrophenol, more specifically, the invention relates to a method for preparing o-nitrophenol with high selectivity. Background technique
[0002] O-nitrophenol can be used as an intermediate in medicine, dyes, rubber additives and photosensitive materials, and can also be used as a monochromatic pH value indicator, so the preparation of o-nitrophenol is very important. At present, the production process of o-nitrophenol is relatively mature, but there are some defects in various processes.
[0003] The traditional method is to use nitric acid as a nitrating agent to nitrate phenol, but the selectivity of o-nitrophenol in this method is poor, and the product is a mixture of o-nitrophenol and p-nitrophenol, which is then distilled, cooled, and crystallized to obtain o-nitrophenol. Nitrophenol, this method is because concentrated nitric acid has oxidation property, and phenol is oxidized to quinone compo...
