4-Hydroxytoluene Powder properties and stability

4-Hydroxytoluene Raw Materials Colorless to pink crystals, smoky, herbal odor. Relative density (d420) 1.0178, refractive index (nD20) 1.5312, melting point 34.8 ℃, boiling point 201.9 ℃, flash point 86.1 ℃. Soluble in water (2.3%/40℃), soluble in caustic alkaline solution and common organic solvents. Natural products exist in ylang-ylang oil, strawberries, cheese, coffee, cocoa and so on.

• 1. 4-Hydroxytoluene Raw Materials is weakly acidic, and interacts with sodium hydroxide to form a soluble sodium salt, but does not interact with sodium carbonate. The sodium salt of p-cresol reacts with alkylating agents such as dimethyl sulfate to form phenol ethers. Reacts with aldehydes to obtain synthetic resins. Catalytic hydrogenation produces methylcyclohexanol. Under mild conditions, p-cresol can be nitrated, halogenated, alkylated and sulfonated. P-cresol is easy to oxidize, with light and air contact color will be darkened, resulting in quinones and other complex compounds.
• 2. Stability: stable
• 3. Prohibited substances: strong oxidizing agents, alkalis
• 4. Avoid contact conditions: light
• 5.Hazard of polymerization: non-polymerization

Production method of 4-Hydroxytoluene Powder

1. 4-Hydroxytoluene Powder mixture after extraction of m-cresol mother liquor, can be oxalic acid addition method for recrystallization.
2. Toluene and sulfuric acid are sulfonated and neutralized, and the generated sodium p-toluene sulfonate is then fused with alkali, acidified, and distilled to obtain the finished product of p-cresol. In order to get a higher purity of p-cresol there are two processes:

• (1) The p-cresol obtained after distillation is then separated by crystallization;
• (2) After sulfonation, p-toluene sulfonic acid is first cooled, crystallized, filtered, then neutralized, alkali melting, acidification, distillation and finished products. Nanjing Jinyan Chemical Corporation developed the sulfonation alkali melting method technology is mature, can produce high purity p-cresol, change the process conditions, the use of the device can also produce m-cresol, o-cresol, phenol, naphthol, etc..

Production methods The preparation methods are as follows.

• (1) Toluene sulfonation alkali fusion method   Toluene as raw material, sulfuric acid as sulfonating agent, sulfonation reaction at 110 ~ 130 ℃ to generate intermediate toluene sulfonic acid, after neutralization at 340 ~ 365 ℃ with molten sodium hydroxide alkali fusion reaction, sodium cresol, after acidification of crude cresol, and then distillation to separate out the o-cresol and phenol, to get the main body of the p-cresol between the p-cresol, the m-, p-mixed cresol. Temperature change, type of sulfonating agent and the ratio of toluene to sulfonating agent determine the composition of isomers in the generated cresol. Nanjing Jinyan Chemical Corporation adopts sulfonation alkali fusion method to produce high purity p-cresol. Other commonly used sulfonating agents are fuming sulfuric acid and chlorosulfonic acid. Toluene sulfonation method for the preparation of p-cresol is the earliest industrialized method, this method is more mature, but requires the consumption of a large number of acids, alkalis, equipment corrosion problems, the method is still the main method of production of p-cresol. Between, p-cresol mixture after the extraction of m-cresol mother liquor available oxalic acid addition method for recrystallization. For example, the urea with filtered toluene solution heated to 95 ~ 100 ℃, stirring to add oxalic acid reaction 2 ~ 3h, and then cooled at room temperature for about 16h, vacuum filtration of white crystals that is p-cresol oxalic acid compounds. This compound will be decomposed with hot water, the upper oil layer first regular pressure distillation for toluene and water evaporation, and then in the vacuum degree of 0.094MPa cut 93 ~ 104 ℃ fraction that is obtained for the purity of 95% p-cresol.
• (2) p-Toluidine diazoxide hydrolysis method  P-toluidine and sulfuric acid to generate p-toluidine sulfate, at 0 ~ 5 ℃ with sodium nitrite for diazotization, and then the diazonium salt in dilute sulfuric acid heating and hydrolysis, the steam will be divided into oil, the oil layer is added to 1% sodium hydroxide, plus decolorization and filtration, add concentrated sulfuric acid to pH = 1, and then the aqueous layer is divided into zinc and sulfuric acid, and then neutralize with sodium carbonate to neutral, the oil layer is divided into oil, washed, and then Decompression distillation to get the finished product.
• (3) Separated from kerosen  Sulfonation of toluene with sulfuric acid, p-toluene sulfonic acid, cooling, crystallization, filtration, and then add sodium sulfite neutralization, sodium p-toluene sulfonate, then sodium hydroxide alkaline melting, sodium p-toluene phenol, and then acidified by sulfurous acid. Finally, it is separated by distillation and crystallization.
