Description

Verfahren zur Darstellung von Thymol, seinen Isomeren oder Homologen Die neuartigen Kondensationsprodukte aus C-alkylierten Phenolen und Ketonen, deren Darstellung den Gegenstand des Patents 486 768 bildet, lassen sich durch Erhitzen auf höhere Temperatur, gegebenenfalls in Gegenwart von Katalysatoren, wie Aluminium- oder Magnesiumphenolat, in alkylierte Curnarane und Alkylisoalkylenphenole spalten, die durch Behandeln mit Wasserstoff in Gegenwart `von Hydrierungskatalysatoren in Thymol bzw. seine Isomeren und Homologen übergeführt werden können. Es wurde gefunden, daß es nicht notwendig ist, die Kondensationsprodukte erst zu spalten und dann zu hydrieren, man kann auch die Kondensationsprodukte durch Behandlung mit Wasserstoff in Gegenwart von Hydricrungskatalysatoren unmittelbar in Thymol bzw. seine Isomeren und Homologen überführen. Es ist zweckmäßig, neben den gebräuchlichen Hydrierungskatalysatoren noch einen Katalysator zuzusetzen, der den thermischen Zersetzungspunkt so weit heruntersetzt, daß die für die Wasserstoffanlagerung am besten geeignete Temperatur erreicht wird. Derartige Katalysatoren sind z. B. Metallphenolate oder Metallverbindungen, die Phenolate zu bilden vermögen.Process for the preparation of thymol, its isomers or homologues The new condensation products from C-alkylated phenols and ketones, their Representation forming the subject of patent 486 768 can be achieved by heating to a higher temperature, optionally in the presence of catalysts such as aluminum or magnesium phenolate, split into alkylated Curnarane and alkylisoalkylene phenols, which by treatment with hydrogen in the presence of hydrogenation catalysts in Thymol or its isomers and homologues can be converted. It was found, that it is not necessary to split the condensation products first and then to hydrogenate, the condensation products can also be hydrogenated by treatment with hydrogen in the presence of hydrogenation catalysts directly in thymol or its isomers and transfer homologues. It is useful in addition to the customary hydrogenation catalysts still add a catalyst, the thermal decomposition point so far reduces that the temperature most suitable for hydrogen attachment is achieved. Such catalysts are, for. B. metal phenates or metal compounds, able to form the phenates.

Man verfährt am zweckmäßigsten in der Weise, daß man die Kondensationsprodukte aus alkylierten Phenolen und Ketonen mit etwa o; i °/o der Aluminiumverbindung des zu erwartenden ungesättigten Phenols und etwa i °% eines Nickelkatalysators in einem Autoklaven bei i8o bis igo° mit Wasserstoff behandelt, bis q. Atome Wasserstoff aufgenommen sind. Die durch Einwirkung des Alnminiumkatalysators bei der Reaktionstemperatur entstandenen Zerfallsprodukte fallen außerordentlich leicht der Hydrierung anheim. Aus dem Reaktionsprodukt lassen sich in üblicher Weise Thymol oder seine Isomeren bzw. Homologen abscheiden.The most expedient procedure is to remove the condensation products from alkylated phenols and ketones with about o; i ° / o of the aluminum compound of the expected unsaturated phenol and about i °% of a nickel catalyst in one Autoclave treated with hydrogen at i8o to igo ° until q. Atoms hydrogen are included. The effect of the aluminum catalyst at the reaction temperature The resulting decomposition products succumb to hydrogenation extremely easily. The reaction product can be converted into thymol or its isomers in the customary manner or deposit homologues.

Beispiel i Das in dem Patent 486768 beschriebene Kondensationsprodukt aus m-Kresol und Aceton wird nach Zusatz von o, i °/a Aluminium-3-methyl-6-isopropylenphenolat und von 10/, eines Nickelkatalysators mit Wasserstoff, gegebenenfalls unter Druck, bei i8o bis igo° behandelt, bis q. Atome Wasserstoff aufgenommen sind. Aus dem Reaktionsprodukt läßt sich in bekannter Weise Thymol abtrennen.EXAMPLE i The condensation product of m-cresol and acetone described in patent 486768 is after the addition of 0.1% aluminum 3-methyl-6-isopropylene phenolate and 10% of a nickel catalyst with hydrogen, optionally under pressure, at 180 treated until igo °, until q. Atoms of hydrogen are added. Thymol can be separated off from the reaction product in a known manner.

Beispiel e Das Kondensationsprodukt aus p-Kresol und Aceton (vgl. Patent 486768) wird, wie in Beispiel i, nach Zusatz von Aluminium-4.-methyl-6-isopropylenphenolat und Nickelkatalysator mit Wasserstoff behandelt. - Man erhält q.-Methyl-6-isopropyl-i-oxybenzol. Beispiel 3 Das Kondensationsprodukt aus m-Kresol und Methyläthylketon (erhältlich nach Patent 486768) wird, wie in Beispiel i, nach Zusatz von Aluminium-3-methyl-6, a-methopropylphenolat und Nickelkatalysator mit Wasserstoff behandelt. Aus dem Reaktionsgemisch gewinnt man das 3-Methyl-6, a-methopropyl-i-oxybenzol Es ist ein thymolärtig riechendes, wasserhelles, schwach viskoses Öl, das unter 16 mm Druck bei 117 bis i2o° siedet.Example e The condensation product of p-cresol and acetone (cf. Patent 486768) is treated with hydrogen, as in Example i, after the addition of aluminum-4-methyl-6-isopropylene phenolate and nickel catalyst. Q-Methyl-6-isopropyl-i-oxybenzene is obtained. Example 3 The condensation product of m-cresol and methyl ethyl ketone (obtainable according to patent 486768) is treated with hydrogen, as in Example i, after the addition of aluminum 3-methyl-6, α-methopropylphenolate and nickel catalyst. 3-Methyl-6, a-methopropyl-i-oxybenzene is obtained from the reaction mixture It is a thymolärtig smelling, water-white, slightly viscous oil which was less than 1 mm pressure at 117 to 6 i2o ° boils.

Beispiel 4 Das Kondensationsprodukt aus p-Kresol und Methyläthylketon (erhältlich nach Patent 486 768) wird, wie in Beispiel r, gegebenenfalls nach Zusatz von Aluminium-4-methyl-6, cc-methopropylphenolat hydriert. Man erhält das 4-Methyl-6, a-rnethopropyl-i-oxybenzol als wasserhelles 01, das unter z s mni Druck bei -118 bis iig° siedet und dessen Geruch neben Thymol an Kresol erinnert.Example 4 The condensation product of p-cresol and methyl ethyl ketone (obtainable according to Patent 486 768) is hydrogenated, as in Example r, optionally after adding aluminum 4-methyl-6-cc-methopropylphenolate. To yield the 4-methyl-6, a-rnethopropyl-i-oxybenzene as a water-white 01, boils the mni zs under pressure at -118 ° to IIg and reminds the odor in addition to thymol cresol.
