Preparation of Dimethyl terephthalate: It is obtained by oxidation of p-xylene and subsequent esterification with methyl alcohol.
CH3C6H4CH3 + [O] → HOOCC6H4COOH
HOOCC6H4COOH + 2CH3OH → CH3OOCC6H4COOCH3
Uses of Dimethyl terephthalate: It is used in the production of polyesters, including polyethylene terephthalate and polytrimethylene terephthalate. It is also used in the synthesis of polyester fibers, resins, films, polyester paint and engineering plastics. In addition, it can react with phenylmagnesium bromide to get 1,4-bis-(a-hydroxy-benzhydryl)-benzene. The yield is 50%.
