Synthesis process of 4-(6-hydroxyhexyloxy)phenol in microreactor
This work mainly studied the process of producing 4-(6-hydroxyhexyloxy) phenol with Williamson synthesis in the microreactor. The Box-Behnken model in response surface methodology was used to design the experiments to investigate the effects of reaction temperature
catalyst concentration
reactant ratio
residence time
as well as the interaction among factors
on the yield. The quadratic model was established to correlate the variables to the response values. According to the model
the optimum operating parameters were determined as following temperature 135℃
the concentration of NaOH 2.35 mol·L-1
reactant ratio 2.81
and residence time 2.70 min. Under the optimum conditions
the yield can reach 79.5%
and the error of the predicted and experimental values can be negligible
which showed the accuracy of the model. In addition
a feasible product purification method was proposed
and the structure of the product was confirmed by the 1H NMR spectra.
