Catalytic activity of a mordenite catalyst in alkylation of xylenols with methanol

The catalytic activity of a palladium-containing mordenite catalyst in alkylation of 2,6-, 2,4-, 2,5-, 2,3-, 3,4-, and 3,5-xylenols with methanol was studied. The main and by-products of catalysis and the activity of the catalyst in synthesis of individual trimethylphenols were determined.

ALKYLATION OF o-CRESOL BY METHANOL ON Ni-H MORDENITE.

The authors report the main results of an investigation of the alkylation of o-cresol by methanol over a Ni-H-mordenite catalyst. Data is presented which shows the results of the investigation of the alkylation of o-cresol by methanol at different temperatures and per volume feed rates of the liquid raw material. The data also show the high activity of Ni-H mordenite in the heterogeneous alkylation of o-cresol by methanol by which 2,6- and 2,4-xylenols can be obtained in high yields. It is shown that the alkylation of o-cresol by methanol proceeds by a parallel-consecutive mechanism. Under the conditions used, the optimum yield of 2,6- and 2,4-xylenols is 74. 5-80. 5 and 10. 7-14. 8%, respectively, at a 30-36% conversion of phenol.
