What is Para Cymene?

Para-cymene is transformed from D-limonene, and after transformation, it will become a more stable para-cymene with a more stable chemical structure. Because it contains a benzene ring, the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects of Para Cymene are more obvious and powerful. The molecular structure of Para Cymene is like a sun umbrella on the ground, which is bigger and better protected than the small umbrella of terpinene. It has a good bactericidal, anti-viral and immune-stimulating effect, just like the sun umbrella that protects health in monoterpenes. However, cymene is more irritating than limonene, and direct application will cause the skin to become hot and red. Essential oils containing more cymene are recommended to be diluted and applied to avoid burning the skin. Preservation of essential oils containing Para Cymene components requires attention to isolation from the air to avoid oxidation, otherwise Para Cymene will continue to be oxidized into phenols that are more irritating to the skin.

The invention provides the following technical scheme: a method for continuous production of Para-Cymene, in which 0.1kg to 50.0kg of Pd/C catalyst is loaded into the reactor, and the inert load is fed at a rate of 0.01L/min to 5.00L/min. Gas such as nitrogen, turn on the heating device, when the temperature of the reactor reaches 150 ℃ ~ 400 ℃, turn on the metering pump, and continuously feed the industrial dipentene raw material at a speed equivalent to the space velocity of 0.5h-1 ~ 5.0h-1, After preheating, gasification, and contact reaction with the catalyst, as the reaction progresses, the reaction product continuously enters the condenser connected to the bottom of the reactor, and after being condensed, it is directly collected by the condenser to the product storage tank. The product obtained is a Para-Cymene product. Wherein, the space velocity refers to a parameter that expresses the feed rate without being affected by the size of the reactor.

Preparation of Para-Cymene

1. Using toluene as raw material to synthesize Para-Cymene

So far, most of the industry has adopted this synthetic route to produce cumene, which is realized by the Frield-Craft s alkylation reaction of toluene and propylene (or isopropanol), usually using AlCl3 as a catalyst . Due to the weak ortho- and para-positioning effect of the methyl group in the toluene molecule and the reversibility of the reaction and the relative thermodynamic stability of the m-alkylbenzene compared with the ortho- and p-alkylbenzenes, the reaction product contains p-isopropyl In addition to a small amount of o-isopropyl toluene and a small amount of (steric hindrance effect), it also contains a considerable amount of m-isopropyl toluene. In fact, the ratio of meta-position and para-isopropyl toluene is about 60: 40, and the reaction formula as the picture shows.

Industrially, the mixed product thus obtained is further oxidized and acidolyzed to produce cresol, and the cresol obtained by this method is also m- and p-mixed cresol (o-isopropyl toluene is difficult to be oxidized).

2. Synthesis of Para-Cymene from turpentine

The selectivity of Para-Cymene synthesized from toluene is poor, and the synthesis method with high selectivity has relatively harsh conditions. Therefore, researchers have been looking for a synthesis route with abundant raw materials and simple methods. The preparation of Para-Cymene from turpentine oil is the focus and focus of research in recent years. Turpentine is an abundant renewable resource whose main component is pinene. In the production process of synthesizing camphor and terpineol with turpentine as raw materials, a large amount of by-product industrial dipentene will be produced, and its main components are several monocyclic terpenes with p-diene structure. Pinene and monocyclic terpene have the same or similar carbon frame structure as p-cymene. Pinene can be isomerized into monocyclic terpene through hydrogen transfer reaction, and monocyclic terpene can be converted into Para-Cymene. The preparation of Para-Cymene by using pinene and monocyclic terpene as starting materials is described separately below.

1) Using monocyclic terpene compounds as raw materials

The most studied is to prepare Para-Cymene by catalytic dehydrogenation of T-limonene as raw material. This was studied as early as the 1920s, using palladium-based catalytic systems. Studies have shown that T-limonene is disproportionated into p-alkane and p-cymene. In the 1950s, sodium metal was used as a catalyst, and sodium benzyl was used as a cocatalyst to catalyze the dehydrogenation of monocyclic terpenes such as T-limonene to produce Para-Cymene. Taking T-limonene as an example, the reaction process is shown in the figure.

2) Using bicyclic terpene compounds as raw materials

Mainly T-pinene (T-pinene) is used as the starting material, T-pinene is firstly ring-opened and isomerized into monocyclic terpene compounds, and then Para-Cymene is prepared through catalytic dehydrogenation. The acid-catalyzed ring-opening isomerization of T-pinene was studied. Under acidic conditions, the π bond in the double bond of T-pinene is broken, and a stable tertiary carbocation is formed first, and the formed tertiary carbocation is due to tension, and further For isomerization rearrangement, if an organic acid is used as a catalyst in a low polar solvent, process a mainly occurs; if an inorganic acid is used as a catalyst in a polar solvent, process b occurs, as shown in the figure. The next dehydrogenation reaction uses copper formate-nickel formate (Cu: Ni=1:1) and W-5 type Raney-Ni catalyst.
