Abstract

Benzene carboxylic acids, anhydrides or mixtures thereof are prepared by liquid phase oxidation, with molecular oxygen at an elevated temperature in presence of an oxidation catalyst and gamma-butyrolactone as solvent, of benzene derivatives, optionally nuclear-substituted by chlorine or carboxyl, which contain 1-3 C1-3 side chains selected from alkyl monochloralkyl, dichloroalkyl and hydroxyalkyl groups. In examples, benzoic acid is obtained from toluene or benzyl alcohol, terephthalic acid from p-xylene, p-cymene or p-toluic acid, isophthalic acid from m-xylene, p-chlorobenzoic acid from p-chlorotoluene and phthalic anhydride from o-xylene, using promoters selected from Co 2-ethylhexanoate + NH4Br or isobutyraldehyde, Cr (III) nitrate + Co (II) phosphate, and NH4VO3 + NaBr. Other specified starting materials are: trimethylbenzene, cumene, diisopropyl benzene, chloromethylbenzene xylyl chloride and xylylidene and xylylene dichlorides. Specifications 737,439, 762,849 and 798,342, also U.S.A. Specification 2,245,528 and German Specification 767,366 are referred to.
