200A Microwave-assisted synthesis of p-hydroxyanisole
The research was done by a research scholar at the School of Pharmacy at Jiamusi University to discuss the paper on microwave-assisted synthesis of p-hydroxyanisole, published in the important journal
Using hydroquinone as raw material, dimethyl carbonate (DMC) as methylation reagent and polyethylene glycol-400 (PEG-400) as phase transfer catalyst, p-hydroxyanisole was synthesized under microwave assisted conditions. The structure was confirmed by 1H NMR. The optimal synthesis conditions were determined by orthogonal experiments: n (hydroquinone): n (DMC): n (K2CO3): n (PEG-400) = 1:8:0.65:0.40, reaction temperature The yield of p-hydroxyanisole was 76.40% under the conditions of 95 ° C and a reaction time of 35 min. The synthetic method avoids the use of highly toxic reagents, has high safety and is easy to operate.

Hydroquinone was synthesized by using hydroquinone as raw material, dimethyl carbonate (DMC) as methylation reagent and PEG-400 as phase transfer catalyst. The optimal synthesis conditions were determined by orthogonal experiments: n (hydroquinone): n (DMC): n (K2CO3): n (PEG-400) = 1:8:0.65:0.40, reaction The temperature was 95 ° C and the reaction time was 35 min. Under this condition, the yield of p-hydroxyanisole was 76.40%. The method has the advantages of simple operation, green process and the like, and provides a reference for the synthesis of p-hydroxyanisole.
1.10 g (0.01 mol) of hydroquinone, 0.9 g (0.0065 mol) of potassium carbonate, 1.6 g (0.004 mol) of PEG-400 and 7.2 g were added to a 50 mL three-necked flask ( 0.08 mol) DMC, placed in a microwave synthesis reactor and equipped with a reflux device, set the reaction temperature to 95 ° C, the reaction time was 35 min, the power was 450 W, the reaction was started, and the reaction process was monitored by TLC (the developing solvent was petroleum ether: Ethyl acetate = 2:1). After the completion of the reaction, the product was evaporated by steam distillation, and the organic solvent was evaporated to dryness to afford white crystals.
