Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the titled compound in high yield and selectivity, shortening the oxidation reaction time, by using p-cresol as a raw material and oxidizing the alkyl group of p-cresol with molecular O2 in an alcohol solvent in the presence of a specific mixed catalyst and a base. CONSTITUTION:The objective compound is produced by oxidizing p-cresol with molecular O2 in the presence of a mixed catalyst consisting of an iron (III) compound and a nickel (II) compound and a base such as sodium hydroxide in an alcohol solvent (especially preferably methanol, etc.) at 60-80 deg.C under >=1atm pressure for about 1hr. The iron (III) compound is e.g. ferric chloride, ferric sulfate, ferric oxide, etc., and especially preferably ferric chloride. The nickel (II) compound is nickel chloride, nickel bromide, nickel carbonate, etc., and especially preferably nickel chloride. The sum of both catalyst compound is preferably >=0.001mol per 1mol or p-cresol and the molar ratio of Ni/Fe in the catalyst is 0.05-5.

Conventional techniques, especially the method disclosed in JP-A-55-81832, are at a high level of technology, but even with this method, in the production of para-hydroxybenzaldehydes from para-cresols having a substituent at the ortho position, the conversion rate per unit reaction time is low. However, when applied to the oxidation of para-cresol which does not have a substituent at the ortho position, it is difficult to obtain satisfactory results in terms of the required reaction time. The present inventor has made earnest efforts to solve the technical problems of the conventional method and has completed the present invention.
