Abstract

Abstract:

2,3,5-Trimethylbenzoquinone(TMBQ) was synthesized by one-step catalytic oxidation of 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene(TMB) with industrial packing γ-alumina as catalyst, acetic acid as solvent, and 30% H₂O₂ as oxidant. The effects of catalyst amount, oxidant dosage, reaction temperature and reaction time were investigated. 21.3% conversion of TMB, 16.0% yield of TMBQ, and 75.2% selectivity were obained under optimal conditions:m(γ-Al₂O₃)/m(TMB)=0.005, m(30%H₂O₂)/m(TMB)=2.5, reaction 2 h at 80 ℃. The catalyst's properties were characterized by SEM, XRD, FTIR and BET, indicating γ-Al₂O₃'s crystallinity is the key factor to catalytic activity. With pore structure, large specific surface area, uneven particle distribution, irregular lamellar structure, packing γ-Al₂O₃ is cheap, readily available and has bright prospects.

Key words: trimethylbenzene, trimethylbenzoquinone, catalytic oxidation, alumina
