Mono-tert-butylhydroquinone

At present, the production of tert butyl hydroquinone both domestically and internationally adopts the tert butylation method of hydroquinone, as shown in Figure 2. According to different classifications of alkylation reagents, it can be divided into tert butyl method, isobutylene method, and MTBE method. Due to the high toxicity of MTBE to human beings and the environment, this method is almost limited to theoretical research in the laboratory and cannot be promoted in industrial applications.

Using isobutylene as an alkylation reagent requires a reaction under closed conditions, which can also be catalyzed by strong acids. In a mixed solvent of xylene and ketone, 85% phosphoric acid is used as a catalyst [8], and isobutylene is added to synthesize tert butylhydroquinone. The selectivity of the single tert butylation reaction can reach over 90%. Cationic resin [9] can also serve as a catalyst for this reaction, but the effect is not very ideal. Isobutene has higher activity than tert butanol, and its application and promotion prospects are very optimistic.
