Properties and stability

1. Oxidize with dilute nitric acid or chromic acid to generate benzoic acid. Nitration reaction occurs with fuming nitric acid in the presence of acetic anhydride or acetic acid to produce 2,4-dinitrocumene. When reacting with concentrated sulfuric acid, sulfonation reaction mainly occurs at the para position. Under ultraviolet irradiation, oxygen is introduced at 85°C or at 90-130°C and 0.1-1MPa, oxygen is introduced for oxidation to generate cumene hydroperoxide. Under the catalysis of sulfuric acid or acidic ion exchange resin, cumene hydroperoxide decomposes into phenol and acetone. Cumene is decomposed into benzene and propylene under the catalysis of aluminum silicate at 400 to 500°C.

2. Stability[24] Stable

3. Incompatible substances[25] Strong oxidants, acids, halogens, etc.

4. Polymerization hazards[26] No polymerization

Storage method

Storage Precautions[27] Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 37°C. Keep container tightly sealed. should be kept away from oxidizer, do not store together. Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. It is prohibited to use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks. The storage area should be equipped with emergency release equipment and suitable containment materials.

Synthesis method

1. Obtained from the alkylation reaction of benzene and propylene. Aluminum trichloride is usually used as the catalyst and hydrogen chloride is used as the accelerator. The reaction is carried out at normal pressure and around 95°C. In addition to cumene, polyalkyl by-products such as dicumyl and tricumyl are also produced. In order to reduce side reactions, excess benzene can be used. The molar ratio of benzene to propylene is about 3; the content of aluminum trichloride in the reaction solution is 3%-8%; the reaction is carried out at a low propylene concentration. In order to improve the production capacity of the reactor and reduce the loss of benzene in the tail gas, the reaction pressure can be increased to 0.5-0.6MPa. The alkylated liquid obtained from the reaction is cooled and precipitated, and the separated solid (aluminum trichloride and polycumyl complex) is recycled. The alkylated liquid is hydrolyzed, neutralized and distilled to obtain cumene. Another gas phase process is to pass gaseous benzene and propylene through a phosphoric acid catalytic bed loaded on alumina or aluminum silicate to perform catalytic alkylation. The reaction pressure is 1.5-40MPa and the temperature is about 250°C. At present, the industrial production of cumene is mainly based on the above-mentioned liquid phase method.

2. The preparation method is to Benzene and propylene enter the alkylation tower together in the presence of the catalyst aluminum trichloride. Benzene contains a small amount of hydrogen chloride as a cocatalyst. The reaction temperature is 95 to 100°C. The reaction product contains 30% to 35% of cumene and polycumene. 10%~15%. The reaction liquid is cooled, separated by sedimentation, and the complex of aluminum trichloride in polycumene is separated. The ethylbenzene is removed, and the crude cumene is distilled to obtain the finished product.

Purpose

1. Mainly used in the production of phenol, acetone, a-methylstyrene, cumene hydroperoxide, etc., and can also be used as additives to increase the octane number of fuel oil, synthetic fragrances and polymerization initiators. raw material.

2. It is an intermediate in the production of the herbicide isopropuron (N-4-isopropylphenyl-N’,N’-dimethylurea) and an important intermediate in the production of phenol.

3. Used in organic synthesis and as solvent. [28]
