Abstract

Isophthalic acid is prepared by a process wherein m-di-isopropylbenzene is oxidized by means of oxygen or a molecular oxygen-containing gas in a liquid medium comprising an organic solvent for the m-di-isopropylbenzene and in the presence of a catalyst comprising a manganese compound together with either a cobalt compound or both a cobalt compound and a barium compound. The process is preferably carried out at pressures between about 2 and about 50 atmospheres and at temperatures between about 60 DEG and about 300 DEG C. Catalyst compounds specified are oxides, chlorides, nitrates, sulphates, acetates, salicylates, butyrates, octoates, toluates, propionates and chelate complexes with diketones such as cobalt isovalerylacetonate or acetoacetonate. Preferred metal salts are those derived from carboxylic acids containing 2-8 carbon atoms in the molecule. Specified solvents are chlorobenzenes, benzene, diphenyl, tert.-butylbenzene, carbon tetrachloride, sym-tetrachloroethane, phenylacetic acid and saturated fatty acids containing 2-8 carbons atoms in the molecule, which are preferred, such as acetic, propionic, n- and iso-butyric, n-valeric, trimethylacetic, caproic and n-heptanoic acids and isomers thereof. Isophthalic acid usually precipitates from the reaction mixture as the reaction proceeds and may be removed by filtration, the filtrate being returned to the reaction vessel. Further amounts of m-di-isopropylbenzene and catalyst may be added intermittently or continuously to the reaction mixture as the oxidation proceeds. The amount of water in the reaction zone is preferably kept below 3 per cent of the total weight of reactants by known methods. In examples, mixtures of m-di-isopropylbenzene, propionic acid and a catalyst containing 1 part of cobalt acetate and 2 parts of manganese acetate are oxidized by passing oxygen at about 130 DEG C., isophthalic acid being collected, and further amounts of m-di-isopropylbenzene and catalyst being added intermittently.
