A method of synthesizing a corresponding alkyl-substituted tetralin by cyclization of phenylhexene, tolylhexene, phenylpentene, tolylpentene or the like is widely known. In this method, BF 3 or HF is generally used as a catalyst, and the target tetralin is obtained in high yield by treating at a temperature near room temperature in the presence or absence of a solvent (J. org.

上記条件下では著しく困難であった。As described above, alkyl-substituted phenylhexene can be converted to the corresponding tetralin by cyclization, and Lewis acid or mineral acid can be used as a catalyst for this cyclization reaction. Of course, one skilled in the art can easily imagine without looking at the examples of alkylation already mentioned. The present inventors diligently studied cyclization of 5- (p-dialkyl) -hexene. As a result, the cyclization of 5- (p-dialkyl) -hexene is
It was extremely difficult under the above conditions.

As the aromatic sulfonic acid, for example, p-toluenesulfonic acid, xylenesulfonic acid, phenolsulfonic acid, naphthalenesulfonic acid, etc. need to be dissolved in the reaction system. Will be eliminated. The larger the amount of the catalyst added, the easier the cyclization reaction proceeds, but if it is too large, pitch-like products increase, which is not preferable. Usually, 0.5 to 20% is desirable based on 5- (p-dialkyl) -hexene.

る。環化反応は、回分式、連続式のいずれでも良い。The cyclization reaction is carried out in the presence or absence of a solvent, under reduced pressure, normal pressure or increased pressure, at a reaction temperature of 120 ° C. or higher. When the reaction temperature is lower than 120 ° C, the reaction rate is slow, and when it is too high, pitch-like products are generated, so the temperature is preferably in the range of 140 to 220 ° C. The cyclization reaction may be a batch system or a continuous system.

Require harsh conditions. The reason is that 1-position and 8-position of 1,4-dimethyl-5,8-dialkyltetralin which is a product, 4
This is probably due to steric hindrance between the two alkyl groups at the 2nd and 5th positions.

The reaction solution after the side chain alkylation of ethyl-p-xylene with 1,3-butadiene as described above is used, or after removing the catalyst by washing with water or the like, the unreacted materials and by-products are not removed or removed. After that, it can be subjected to a cyclization reaction. When a light boiling point is generated in the middle of the cyclization reaction, it may be necessary to perform it while extracting it outside the system in order to keep the reaction temperature at a predetermined temperature. After completion of the reaction, the catalyst is removed by neutralization, washing with water, filtration or the like, and then high-purity 1,4-dimethyl-5,8-dialkyltetralin can be easily obtained with a high yield of 95% or more by means such as distillation. Obtainable.
