Paragraph 0075; 0076; 0077, (2019/02/04)
The invention discloses a method of preparing 3-isopropyl-5-cresol and carvacrol with 3-carene. The method comprises the following steps that 3-carene is reacted with oxygen at a room temperature to produce a product I under the catalysis of CrO3-Al2O3, wherein the product I is prepared from the main components including 5-carone, 2-carone and 4-carone with the selectivity ratio being about 10.8 to 3.5 to 1.0; the product I is distilled to recover 3-carene, wherein the recovery rate is larger than 80 percent, and the recovery purity is larger than 94 percent; the residual components are converted to a product II at 230 DEG C under catalysis of a 13X type molecular sieve, and reduced pressure distillation is performed on the product II to obtain a mixed phenol product with the purity largerthan 96 percent, wherein the product II is prepared from the main components including 3-isopropyl-5-cresol and carvacrol, the raw material conversion rate is 100 percent, the total selectivity of phenolic products can reach 98 percent, and the selectivity ratio of the two phenolic products is about 2.2 to 1.0; and column chromatography isolation is performed on the product II to obtain 3-isopropyl-5-cresol and carvacrol with the purities larger than 97 percent respectively.

Emissions from wood dryers have been of some concern for a number of years, and recent policy changes by the Environmental Protection Agency have placed emphasis upon the gaseous emissions that lead to the formation of particulate matter as small as 2.5 μm diameter. In this qualitative study, camphene, Δ3-carene, limonene, and α-terpinene were thermally degraded in the presence of air to determine the number and kind of oxidative degradation products that might be expected under drying conditions used in processing wood products. Various chromatographic methods were used to isolate the products for proof of structure by NMR and/or GC-MS. The degradation products resulted from dehydrogenations, epoxidations, double bond cleavages, allylic oxidations, and rearrangements. A number of compounds not previously associated with the thermal degradation of these terpenes were identified.

The action of Tl(III) acetate on Δ3-carene has been studied and its mode of action correlated with that of other soft acids like Hg(II) and Pb(IV) acetates.
