Abstract

Resorcinol is obtained by decomposing m-diisopropylbenzene dihydroperoxide in a reaction solvent in the homogeneous phase and under substantially anhydrous conditions with a sulphuric acid catalyst, the solvent being a mixture of acetone with benzene, toluene, diisopropyl ether or a substantially water-insoluble ketone (such as methyl isobutyl ketone, cyclohexanone, 2-hexanone) or a mixture of two or more of these compounds. The amount of sulphuric acid may be 0.01 to 2 per cent by weight based on the volume of the decomposition reaction mixture and the temperature of reaction may be 20-130 DEG C. The dihydroperoxide may be used as a crude oxidation reaction mixture containing original hydrocarbon, or it may be extracted with aqueous alkali, the extract neutralized with carbon dioxide, and then extracted with benzene, toluene or methyl isobutyl ketone. Continuous and batch processes are described in the examples.
