Description
Verfahren zur Darstellung von Menthol, seinen Isomeren oder Homologen und den entsprechenden Ketonen Die neuartigen Kondensationsprodukte aus in- oder p-Kresol und Ketonen, öderen Darstellung den Gegenstand des Patents 486 768 bildet, lassen sich, ohne daß erst eine thermische Spaltung bewirkt wird, durch Behandeln mit Wasserstoff in Gegenwart von Hydrierungskatalysatoren in die entsprechenden Cyclohexanole (Menthol, seine Isorneren und Homologen) überführen, wenn die Hydrierung bis zur Aufnahme von 16 Atomen getrieben wird. Dabei entsteht immer eine geringe -tvlen'ge der entsprechenden Ketone (Xlenthon), da die Reaktion nicht völlig bis zu el Ende -eht.A process for the preparation of menthol, its isomers or homologues and the corresponding ketones The novel condensation products from domestic or p-cresol and ketones, öderen representation forms the subject of the patent 486 768, can be, without first thermal cleavage is effected by Treating with hydrogen in the presence of hydrogenation catalysts, converting it into the corresponding cyclohexanols (menthol, its isomers and homologues) if the hydrogenation is carried out up to the absorption of 16 atoms. This always results in a small amount of the corresponding ketones (xlenthon), since the reaction does not go completely to the end.
Es ist zweckmäßig, neben den gebräuchlichen Hydrierungskatalvsatoren noch einen Katalvsator zuzusetzen, der den thermischen Zersetzungspunkt so weit heruntersetzt, daß die für die Wasserstoffanlagerting am besten 21 geeignete Temperatur erreicht wird. Derartige Katalysatoren sind z. B. Metallplienolate oder Verbindungen, die Phenolate zu bilden vermögen. In addition to the usual hydrogenation catalysts, it is advisable to add a catalyst which lowers the thermal decomposition point to such an extent that the temperature most suitable for hydrogen storage is reached. Such catalysts are, for. B. Metallplienolate or compounds capable of forming phenates.
Das Verfahren führt auch bei Anwendung eines Hydrierungskatalysators allein zum Ziel. In diesem Fall müssen jedoch höhere Temperaturen angewendet werden.The process also works when a hydrogenation catalyst is used to the goal alone. In this case, however, higher temperatures must be used.
Gegenüber den bekannten Verfahren, die Menthol oder Mentlion aus Thymol durch Hydrierung zu gewinnen - statten, hat das t' "e Verfahren vorliegender Erfindung den großen Vorteil, daß sich eine Isolierung und Reinigung des Thymols oder seiner Isorneren und Homologen vor der Fertighydrierung erübrigt. Beispiel i Das Kondensationsprodukt aus m-Kresol und Aceton (vgl. Patent 486 768) wird nach Zusatz von o,i 01'. Alu'Tlillium-3-"letfl#11-6-isopropylenphenolat und i0/" eines Nli#kellatt-t-Ivsators mit Wasserstoff, gegebenenfalls unter Druck, bei i8o bis igo' behandelt bis zur Aufnahme von 16 Atomen Wasserstoff. Man erhält ein Gemenge der verschiedenen stereoisomeren Menthole in einer Ausbeute von etwa 6o0/" des Ausgangsmaterials.Opposite to win the known method, the menthol or Mentlion from thymol by hydrogenation - furnish that has t '"e process of the present invention has the great advantage that isolation and purification of thymol or its Isorneren and homologues is unnecessary before the Fertighydrierung example. The condensation product of m-cresol and acetone (cf. Patent 486 768) is after the addition of 0.11. Alu'Tlillium-3- "ltfl # 11-6-isopropylene phenolate and 10 /" of a Nli # kellatt-t -Ivsator treated with hydrogen, optionally under pressure, at 180 to igo 'until 16 atoms of hydrogen have been taken up. A mixture of the various stereoisomeric mentholes is obtained in a yield of about 60% of the starting material.
An Stelle des Aluminiumphenolates können auch Magnesiumphenolat oder Quecksilberphenolat oder die Oxyde oder Hydroxyde, auch Carbonate der genannten Metalle, benutzt werden.Instead of the aluminum phenolate, magnesium phenolate or Mercury phenolate or the oxides or hydroxides, also carbonates of the above Metals.
Beispiel :2 Ausgehend vom Kondensationsprodukt aus p-Kresol und Aceton (vgl. Patent 486 768), erhält man nach Zusatz , v on Aluminium-4-methyl-6-isopropylenphenolat und BeAandhing mit Wasserstoff bis zur Aufnahme von 16 Atornen Wasserstoff ein Gemenge der stereoisomeren 4-Methyl-6-isopropylcyclohexanole in einer Ausbeute von 6o '/" des Ausgangsmaterials. Beispiel 3 Das Kondensationsprodukt aus m-Kresol und Methyläthylketon (vgl. Patent 486768) wird, wie in Beispiel i beschrieben, mit Wasserstoff behandelt. Aus dem Reaktionsgemisch läßt sich mit einer Ausbeute von 6o01" ein Gemenge stereoisornerer 3-Methyl--1-methopropylcyclohe-.m-anole isolieren.For example, (. See Patent 486,768) 2 Starting from the condensation product of p-cresol and acetone, is obtained, after the addition, v on aluminum-4-methyl-6-isopropylenphenolat and BeAandhing with hydrogen until the uptake of 16 Atornen hydrogen, a mixture of stereoisomeric 4-methyl-6-isopropylcyclohexanols in a yield of 60 '/ "of the starting material. Example 3 The condensation product of m-cresol and methyl ethyl ketone (cf. Patent 486768) is treated with hydrogen as described in Example i. From the reaction mixture a mixture of stereoisomeric 3-methyl-1-methopropylcyclohe-.m-anols can be isolated with a yield of 601 ".
