2-Isopropoxyphenol Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

2-Isopropoxyphenol is produced by the reaction of catechol and isopropyl bromide. Slowly add isopropyl bromide dropwise to the refluxing mixture of catechol, potassium carbonate, butanone and phase transfer catalyst, continue to reflux for a certain period of time, and then distill out most of butanone (85%), Add enough water to dissolve the solid salt, and then extract with benzene. The extract is extracted with dilute sodium hydroxide solution. The extract is neutralized with dilute hydrochloric acid and then extracted with benzene, dried with calcium chloride, and most of the benzene is evaporated. Distillation under reduced pressure, collecting 100-102°C/1.46kPa fractions, yield>60% (reflux 32h yield>60%, reflux 8h yield 54%). If isopropyl chloride is used instead of isopropyl bromide, the cost can be reduced, but the process requires autoclave reaction. The domestic o-isopropoxyphenol uses the process of isopropyl chloride and catechol.

Uses

2-Isopropoxyphenol, also known as 2-(1-methylethoxy)phenol, is an important intermediate for the synthesis of carbamate pesticides.
