Description

Verfahren zur Herstellung von 1-Methyl-3-oxy-4-isopropyl-6-chlorbenzol (Chlorthymol) Aus der Patentschrift 35o 8o9 ist ein Verfahren bekannt geworden, Thymol auf die Weise herzustellen, daß man m-Kresol sulfoniert, dann. die 1,#resolsulfosäure mit Isopropylalkohol in Gegenwart von starker Schwefelsäure behandelt und endlich die Sulfogruppe in der üblichen Weise abspaltet. Es wird aber in der Patentschrift ausdrücklich erwähnt, daß als Nebenprodukt eine etwas höher siedende isomere Verbindung entsteht, die bei 114 bis 115° C schmilzt.Process for the preparation of 1-methyl-3-oxy-4-isopropyl-6-chlorobenzene (Chlorothymol) A process has become known from patent specification 35o 8o9, To prepare thymol by sulfonating m-cresol, then. the 1, # resolsulfonic acid treated with isopropyl alcohol in the presence of strong sulfuric acid and finally splits off the sulfo group in the usual manner. But it is in the patent expressly mentions that a somewhat higher-boiling isomeric compound is a by-product arises, which melts at 114 to 115 ° C.

Auch bei einem anderen Herstellungsverfahren von Thymol, das in der Patentschrift 400 969 beschrieben ist und das mit Phosphorsäure als Kondensationsmittel arbeitet, wird geltend gemacht, daß bei dem Verfahren ein bei 114° schmelzendes Isomeres, unter Umständen sogar als Hauptprodukt, auftritt.Also in another production process of thymol, which is in the Patent 400 969 is described and that with phosphoric acid as a condensing agent works, it is asserted that in the process a melting point at 114 ° Isomer, possibly even as the main product, occurs.

Es wurde nun ein Verfahren gefunden, bei dem durch zweckmäßige Wahl des Ausgangsstoffes das Entstehen dieses Isomeren vermieden wird; wenn man nämlich i-Methyl-3-oxy-6-chlorbenzol (p-Chlor-m-kresol) auf ähnliche Weise mit Isopropylalkohol kondensiert, so entsteht so gut wie ausschließlich i-Methyl-3-oxy-4-isopropyl-6-cllorbenzol (Chlorthymol), und im Reaktionsprodukt kann kein Chlorderivat eines anderen !sopropyl-m-kresols aufgefunden werden. Das so erhältliche Chlorthymol ist an sich bereits bekannt; es wurde von B o c c h i (vgl. Gazz. chim. ital. 26. IL 463 und Chem. Zentralbl. [19071, 1, S.38) hergestellt und zeigt den Schmelzpunkt 62 bis 64° C. Es weist eine ganz beispiellos keimtötende Kraft auf; schon die gesättigte wäßrige Lösung, obwohl. sie nur 0,03 % Substanz enthält, ist für die meisten Desinfektionszwecke hinreichend stark. Nach dem Verfahren der PatentscErift 396 454 kann dieses Chlorthymol in Thymol übergeführt werden.A process has now been found in which the formation of this isomer is avoided by appropriate choice of the starting material; if i-methyl-3-oxy-6-chlorobenzene (p-chloro-m-cresol) is condensed with isopropyl alcohol in a similar way, i-methyl-3-oxy-4-isopropyl-6- chlorobenzene (chlorothymol), and no chlorine derivative of another isopropyl-m-cresol can be found in the reaction product. The chlorothymol obtainable in this way is already known per se; it was produced by B occhi (cf. Gazz. chim. Ital. 26. IL 463 and Chem. Zentralbl. [19071, 1, p.38) and has a melting point of 62 to 64 ° C. It has an unprecedented germicidal power on; already the saturated aqueous solution, though. it contains only 0.03 % substance is strong enough for most disinfection purposes. This chlorothymol can be converted into thymol according to the method of patent specification 396 454.

Beispiel Eine bei 15 bis 2o° hergestellte Mischung aus 240 g Isopropylalkohol und 6oo g Schwefelsäuremonohydrat läßt man bei 8o° unter Rühren innerhalb i Stunde zu iooo g i-Methyl-3-oxy-6-cblorbenzol zulaufen und rührt diese Mischung noch 3 Stunden bei 8o bis 85° weiter. Hierauf wird mit Soo ccm Wasser verdünnt und über Nacht bei 9o° stehengelassen. Das Öl wird dann von der wäß.rigen Schicht getrennt, bis zur Neutralität des Waschwassers gewaschen und fraktioniert destilliert.Example A mixture of 240 g of isopropyl alcohol produced at 15 to 20 ° and 600 g of sulfuric acid monohydrate are left at 80 ° with stirring for 1 hour run in to 100 g of i-methyl-3-oxy-6-chlorobenzene and stir this mixture for a further 3 Hours at 8o to 85 °. Then it is diluted with soo ccm of water and over Left at 90 ° overnight. The oil is then separated from the aqueous layer, washed until the wash water is neutral and fractionally distilled.

Ausbeute 5oo g reines i-Methyl-3-oxy-6-chlorbenzol zurück 350g reines i-Methyl-3-oxy-44sOpropyl-6-chlorbenzol (= 54 °;ö der Theorie bezogen auf p-Chlorm-kresol 47 % der Theorie bezogen auf Isopropylalkohol).Yield 500 g of pure i-methyl-3-oxy-6-chlorobenzene back 350 g of pure i-Methyl-3-oxy-44sOpropyl-6-chlorobenzene (= 54 °; ö of theory based on p-chloromocresol 47% of theory based on isopropyl alcohol).
