Abstract

The invention relates to a process of preparing phenylformic acid through liquid phase oxidation of methylbenzene, in particular to preparation of the phenylformic acid by taking a complex of one or more metal ions of cobalt, manganese, copper and cerium as a catalyst, taking molecular oxygen as an oxidant, taking ester compounds containing aromatic rings as a solvent, and performing catalytic selective oxidation on the methylbenzene. The process has the advantages that: (1) the process adopts a homogeneous complex catalyst, and has high conversion rate of the methylbenzene; (2) the process has mild oxidation reaction conditions, and the methylbenzene has high selectivity to generate a phenylformic acid target product; (3) the process uses the air to oxidize the methylbenzene, takes the ester compounds containing the aromatic rings such as methyl formate or nzyl benzoate as the solvent, has high concentration of oxygen in the system, and is favorable for the oxidation of the methylbenzene; and (4) a product mixture mainly contains the phenylformic acid and the ester compounds taken as the solvent, and has simple product separation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing benzoic acid by liquid-phase oxidation of toluene. Specifically, one or several metal complexes in cobalt, manganese, copper or cerium are used as catalysts, and ester compounds containing aromatic rings are used as solvents, and toluene is oxidized under the condition of molecular oxygen as an oxidizing agent to prepare benzene Formic acid method. Background technique [0002] Benzoic acid is a very important chemical product: benzoic acid is one of the important raw materials in the organic synthesis industry, and is currently mainly used as a food preservative in China; in addition, benzoic acid is also an important intermediate for the synthesis of caprolactam and the production of phenol, with a very considerable market prospect Obtain benzaldehyde after the hydrogenation of benzoic acid, be the most important aromatic aldehyde in industry, be the most basic raw material in the aldehyde series spices...
