The present invention provides a
microreactor and a method for synthesizing diphenol compounds using the same, belonging to the field of
fine chemical synthesis. The
microreactor includes a micro-
packed bed reactor or a microchannel reactor, the micro-
packed bed reactor includes a micro-
packed bed reactor inlet and a micro-packed
bed reaction tube connected in sequence; the microchannel reactor includes a micro-channel reactor inlet and a microchannel
reaction tube connected in sequence; the micro-packed
bed reactor inlet or the microchannel reactor inlet includes a gas-liquid mixing unit. During synthesis, the reaction liquid of the
phenol compound and the oxidizing reaction gas are introduced into the
microreactor for oxidation reaction to obtain an
intermediate product, a
benzoquinone compound, which is then hydrogenated, evaporated, and crystallized to obtain the
intermediate product; the diphenol compound includes
hydroquinone and / or tert-butylhydroquinone. The reactor of the present application has a simple structure, promotes gas-liquid
mass transfer, reduces the reactor volume, and greatly improves the efficiency and safety of the process.
