Abstract
A process for the production of benzaldehyde comprises reacting toluene at elevated temperatures in the liquid phase with chlorine until no more than about 35 per cent of the toluene has been converted to benzal chloride, distilling the reaction mass to separate the benzal chloride and hydrolysing the benzal chloride to benzaldehyde. The toluene should be dry and substantially pure, e.g. nitration grade toluene. The chlorination may be effected by bubbling chlorine into toluene or refluxing toluene in the presence of gaseous chlorine. The chlorination may take place in the presence of ultra-violet light or phosphorus trichloride. Plastic or glass reaction vessels should be used; the use of metal-containing catalysts or equipment being avoided. The hydrolysis may be effected with aqueous sulphuric acid, steam and compounds of zinc or water. In examples: toluene is chlorinated under reflux whilst exposed to ultra-violet light, until the specific gravity rises to 1-16 at room temperature. The chlorinated product is fractionated and the benzal chloride fraction is hydrolysed with steam to obtain benzaldehyde (1), and in a similar process the chlorination is discontinued when the specific gravity rises to 1.02 at room temperature (2). Other fractions obtained contain benzyl chloride and mixtures of benzyl and benzal chlorides. The benzyl chloride may be returned to the chlorination process.
