2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol → Cyclohexanone, 2,4-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-

참여 물질

반응 단계

410.0 g of 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol are hydrogenated in 820 ml of ethanol under 40 bar at 60° C. using 20 g of rhodium on carbon (5%) for 21 hours. To complete the reaction, the pressure is raised to 120 bar, a further 10 g of rhodium on carbon (5%) are added, and the hydrogenation is continued at 100° C. for 17 hours. The catalyst is filtered off, the solvent is distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue is distilled off under high vacuum to leave 380.43 g (91% of theory) of 2,4-di-tert-butylcyclohexanone (mixed isomers) as a colourless liquid. Boiling point: 79-86° C./0.22 mbar.
