4-Phenoxyphenol Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

There are many preparation methods for 4-hydroxydiphenyl ether, among which two process routes have low raw material cost and simple process. Hydroquinone and bromobenzene react with hydroquinone as raw materials, add dimethyl sulfoxide solvent and 96% potassium hydroxide solution, while blowing in nitrogen, while heating to 140 ℃ under stirring, slowly add bromobenzene solution dropwise , React at (145±5)°C for 8h; after the reaction is completed, the aqueous phase is acidified with hydrochloric acid to precipitate crystals, and the yield is 88% to 89%. P-chlorophenol method Add 235g (2.50mol) phenol, 42.1g (0.75mol) sodium hydroxide and 150mL toluene into a 500mL three-necked flask equipped with a thermometer, a water trap and a magnetic stirrer, and heat to separate water. After solvent removal, 1.75g copper salt was added as a catalyst, 64.3g (0.50 mol) p-chlorophenol was added dropwise, and the reaction was carried out at 175°C for 8h. After the phenol is recovered, it is acidified with dilute hydrochloric acid. Extract with ether and wash with water. After drying, it is distilled to collect 145~152℃ (800Pa) fractions to obtain 60g of product with a yield of 64%, m.p. 83~84℃ (literature value m.p. 85~86℃).

Uses

4-Hydroxydiphenyl ether, also known as 4-phenoxyphenol, is an intermediate for carbamate insecticides dioxycarbin and sanitary insecticide pyriproxyfen.
