A method for obtaining 2,3,6-trimethylphenol by gas-phase catalytic methylation over iron oxide

Gas-phase alkylation of meta-cresol, 2,5-xylenol and 2,3-xylenol by methanol over a catalyst containing iron oxide as the main component was studied. The reactions were carried out in a continuous process at atmospheric pressure in the temperature range of 573–663 K. The yield of 2,3,6-trimethylphen...

Description
Summary:Gas-phase alkylation of meta-cresol, 2,5-xylenol and 2,3-xylenol by methanol over a catalyst containing iron oxide as the main component was studied. The reactions were carried out in a continuous process at atmospheric pressure in the temperature range of 573–663 K. The yield of 2,3,6-trimethylphenol increases in the series: meta-cresol
