Abstract

The invention comprises 3:5-di-isopropyl phenol and 5-isopropyl resorcinol, and a process for their manufacture wherein a mono- or di-hydroperoxide of 1:3:5-tri-isopropyl benzene is ketonically decomposed. Phloroglucinol is obtained by decomposition of the trihydroperoxide. The hydroperoxides are prepared by the oxidation with oxygen or an oxygen-containing gas of 1:3:5-tri-isopropyl benzene, alone or in the presence of a catalyst such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, pyridine, tribenzylamine, iron stearate, copper acetate or hexa-pyridine cobaltic chloride. An induction period in the oxidation is overcome by the addition of a small amount of the monohydroperoxide. For the preparation of the monohydroperoxide conversions of up to 30 per cent calculated as monohydroperoxide are employed. Similarly for the di- and tri-hydroperoxides conversions of 60-80 per cent and of at least 80 per cent respectively are employed. The monohydroperoxide is separated from the di- and tri-hydroperoxides by fractional distillation or by precipitating the di- and tri-hydroperoxides as their sodium or other suitable salts. The di- and tri-hydroperoxides are separated by fractional crystallization. The separated hydroperoxides may be decomposed to give acetone and 3:5-di-isopropyl phenol or 5-isopropyl resorcinol or phloroglucinol, or alternatively the mixture of hydroperoxides is decomposed and the phenols separated by known methods. The ketonic decomposition occurs when the hydroperoxides are heated or treated with ultra-violet light but preferably acid decomposing agents are used such as organic sulphonic acids, ferric chloride, perchloric acid, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrochloric acid, trichloracetic acid and hydrogen chloride. 3:5-Di-isopropyl phenol forms phenolic resins when reacted with formaldehyde in acid or alkaline medium and 5-isopropyl resorcinol reacts with formaldehyde to form a liquid glue. The preparation of the hydroperoxides from 1:3:5-tri-isopropyl benzene by heating and passing air in the presence of catalysts and the monohydroperoxide, by heating in the presence of air and a metal naphthenate, and by heating in a thin film in air is described. In Examples (1) a solution of the monohydroperoxide in 1:3:5-tri-isopropyl benzene is decomposed with p-toluene sulphonic acid and 3:5-di-isopropyl phenol recovered and converted into the corresponding phosphate by reaction with phosphorus oxychloride; (2) a solution of the dihydroperoxide in toluene is added to a toluene solution of p-toluene sulphonic acid and 5-isopropyl resorcinol obtained; (3) a solution of the trihydroperoxide in glacial acetic acid is decomposed by the addition of perchloric acid and phloroglucinol obtained. Specification 754,125, [Group IV (a)], is referred to.
