Abstract

Monomethyl-p-aminophenol is obtained by the action of monomethylamine at elevated temperature and pressure on hydroquinone in an unsaturated aqueous solution. The hydroquinone may be dissolved in 3--7 times its weight of water. The monomethylamine may be employed as an aqueous solution. A small quantity of alkali sulphite may be present. The sulphate of the monomethyl-p-amino-phenol is obtained by adding sulphuric acid, preferably concentrated, to the above reaction mixture, and separating the product. According to an example, hydroquinone dissolved in five times its weight of water is heated to 190--195 DEG C. in presence of a small quantity of sodium sulphite, in an autoclave, with aqueous methylamine added over a period of 8 hours, after which heating is continued for 8 to 10 hours, followed by neutralizing with sulphuric acid; the heating is carried out preferably in the absence of air. The precipitated metol sulphate crystals are separated. The mother liquor may be utilized by oxidation of the products in it to quinone and subsequent conversion to hydroquinone. U.S.A. Specifications 1,297,685, 1,844,844, 1,844,926, and 1,882,437, and German Specification 260,234 are referred to.
