Abstract
An aromatic hydrocarbon containing one or two nuclear substituents having a structure <FORM:0815857/IV (b)/1> where R1 and R11 are alkyl groups, is partially oxidized to the corresponding hydroperoxide and the hydroperoxide reduced to the corresponding tertiary alcohol without being separated from the unreacted hydrocarbon. It is found that working in this manner it is possible to obtain constant yields of alcohol when the unreacted mixture is subjected to further oxidation and reduction after the oxidized material has been replaced by fresh hydrocarbon and that this treatment may be repeated several times. Compounds such as isopropyl benzene, m- or p-di-isopropyl benzene or m- or p-di-sec.-butyl benzene may be oxidized with air and the hydroperoxide reduced with an alkali metal sulphite, or hydrosulphite or catalytically, e.g. with hydrogen over Raney nickel. The hydroperoxide is preferably reduced using a hot aqueous solution of sodium sulphite containing 10 per cent over the theoretical quantity. In the examples: (1) a feedstock containing p-di-isopropyl benzene with sodium stearate, sodium carbonate and p-di-isopropyl benzene hydroperoxide is heated to 95-98 DEG and air passed through for 8 hours, the product is poured into a hot solution of sodium sulphite and refluxed for 5 hours, p-di-isopropyl benzene a : a 1-diol separates out on cooling, the residue is washed with water and sodium hydroxide and dried and subjected to further oxidation after the original volume is made up with fresh p-di-isopropyl benzene, the cycle is repeated a further six times; (2) a similar experiment is carried out, using three runs, on the meta isomer.
