Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The application relates to a method for producing high-purity m-cresol, which belongs to the field of chemistry and chemical engineering. Background technique
[0002] m-cresol is mainly used as a pesticide intermediate to produce insecticides fenitrothion, fenthion, medicarb, permethrin, and also an intermediate of color film, resin, plasticizer and spice.
[0003] At present, the main process route for synthesizing m-cresol at home and abroad is to use cumene to be converted into methyl cumene hydroperoxide under the initiation of hydrogen peroxide free radicals, and then oxidize with oxygen in the air to produce It is rich in m- and p-cresol, and acetone is produced by-product, but the complexity of the reaction is much higher than that of phenol. The product obtained by this method has almost no ortho-position products, and the ratio of inter-position and para-position is about 7:3. And this method distillation purification cost is high.
