Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce the titled compound useful as a synthetic intermediate of organic compounds, especially pharmaceuticals, suppressing the production of by- products, by adding benzyl alcohol to phenol containing a catalyst, and reacting the components. CONSTITUTION:Phenol is made to react with benzyl alcohol in the presence of a catalyst composed of metallic oxide, alkali metal or its hydride, etc. (especially preferably gamma-alumina). The reaction is carried out by charging phenol and the catalyst in an empty reactor, and adding benzyl alcohol to the reactor at 150- 250 deg.C, preferably 170-220 deg.C at a rate to keep the unreacted benzyl alcohol concentration in the reaction system below 10%. The obtained objective compound contains decreased amount of benzyl phenyl ether and dibenzyl ether which have close boiling points to that of the objective compound and are difficult to be separated by distillation.

Orthobenzylphenol is a compound useful as an intermediate in the synthesis of organic compounds, especially pharmaceuticals.It is known that the production method involves reacting phenol and benzyl alcohol in the presence of a catalyst such as γ-alumina. ing. However, this process usually has the disadvantage that the phenol reaction mixture contains large amounts of benzyl phenyl ether and dibenzyl ether. Furthermore, since the benzyl phenyl ether, dibenzyl ether, and orthobenzyl phenol have similar boiling points, separation by distillation is difficult.

Therefore, the present inventors suppressed the production of by-products, and
As a result of intensive research to improve the selectivity of orthobenzylphenol, we discovered that instead of charging phenol and benzyl alcohol into the reactor all at once, we first charged the phenol and catalyst as water spray and then added benzyl alcohol to this. It was discovered that a reaction product with low benzyl 7-enyl ether and dibenzyl ether contents can be obtained by carrying out the reaction, and the present invention was achieved based on these findings.
