4-Methoxybenzaldehyde → 4-Methylanisole

Participants

Reaction Steps

The cooled reaction gas forwarded through the pipe 4 is introduced into the step (III) of condensation and collection which comprises condensers 5, 6, wherein the p-methoxybenzaldehyde, the unaltered p-methoxytoluene, formed water, and small amounts of by-products contained in the reaction gas are condensed and collected. The condensers 5, 6 are formed of ordinary multi-tube condensers or packed column type condensers. The condenser 5 is cooled with water and the condenser 6 is cooled with a coolant such as brine.
