Usage

General Description

2-(t-butyl)-3-chloromethyl-4,6-dimethylphenol, also known as PCMX, is a chemical compound with antimicrobial properties. It is commonly used in a variety of personal care products, including soaps, lotions, and hand sanitizers, as well as in industrial and healthcare settings for disinfection and sanitization purposes. PCMX works by disrupting the cell membranes of microorganisms, leading to their destruction and preventing their growth. It is effective against a wide range of bacteria and fungi, making it a popular choice for use in products designed to kill or inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms. However, it is important to use PCMX in accordance with safety guidelines and regulations, as overexposure to the compound can lead to irritation of the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.

Method for preparing antioxidant @datdatdatin intermediate without solvent method

The invention relates to a method for preparing an antioxygen 1790 intermediate through a solvent-free method. The intermediate is specifically 2,4-dimethy-6-tertiary butyl-3-chloromethyl phenol. Thepreparing method of the antioxygen 1790 intermediate comprises the steps of reacting 2-4-dimethyl-6-tertiary butyl phenol, paraformaldehyde and concentrated hydrochloric acid under the effect of a catalyst at the room temperature, and in the reaction process, continuously introducing gas HCL, wherein the catalyst is a mixture of an ionic surfactant and a nonionic surfactant. The conversion rate ofraw materials is high, and the conversion rate of 2,4-dimethy-6-tertiary butyl-3-chloromethyl phenol can reach 99% or above; a solvent-free technology is adopted, and compared with an existing technology of adopting haloalkane as a solvent, the method has obvious environmental protection performance and low toxicity; the ionic surfactant and the nonionic surfactant are compounded for a catalysisreaction, the dosage of the catalysts is sharply lowered, and the cost is saved; the reaction can be completed simply under the room temperature, and the condition is mild.

The invention discloses a synthetic method of a 1,3,5-tris(4-tert-butyl-3-hydroxy-2,6-dimethylbenzyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione compound, wherein the synthetic method comprises the steps of adding DMF, cyanuric acid and triethylamine into a reaction kettle, then heating up to 80-100 DEG C, next dropwise adding a mixed solution of 4-tert-butyl-2,6-dimethyl-3-hydroxy benzyl chloride and DMF, after reaction, filtering, evaporating to dryness, dissolving with methanol and precipitating, and thus obtaining the synthetic product. The synthetic method has the advantages of simple operation, short reaction time, few by-products, and high product yield.

Process for tris(aralkyl)phosphines

In a solution that is free of bases and free of oxygen and which contains at least four molar proportions of the reactant tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine for every three molar proportions of an aralkyl halide reactant, the following reaction produces tris(aralkyl)phosphine product: after separation of the phosphine product, the phosphonium salt by-products can be converted to tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine by the addition of a base.
