Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing 3-isopropyl-5-cresol and carvacrol from 3-carene, in particular to a method for preparing 3-isopropyl-5-cresol and carvacrol through oxidation and isomerization of 3-carene respectively. - Cresol and carvacrol method. Background technique
[0002] 3-isopropyl-5-cresol, also known as 5-isopropyl-3-cresol, 5-thymol, m-thymol, etc., is isomers with thymol and carvacrol, and has Special aroma similar to thymol. 3-isopropyl-5-cresol itself has biological activities such as anti-corrosion, anti-oxidation, antibacterial and insecticidal, and is also a key precursor for the synthesis of other active substances, such as carbamate derivatives of alkyl-substituted cresols It is an important class of pesticides, and due to the meta-substitution activity > ortho > para, secondary alkyl activity > tertiary alkyl > n-alkyl, 4-carbon chain > 3-carbon chain or 5-carbon chain > other carbon chains , so...
