ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a process for producing alkylphenols by oxidation of alkyl-substituted aromatic aldehydes with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of hydrogen fluoride and hydrolysis thereof. More particularly, under the presence of hydrogen fluoride alkyl substituted aromatic aldehydes are oxidized and converted selectively to aromatic alkyl phenol formates by hydrogen peroxide, without converting to corresponding aromatic carboxylic acid. After the completion of the oxidizing reaction, the produced alkyl phenol formates are hydrolyzed to corresponding alkyl phenols at the time of removing the remaining hydrogen fluoride by distillation.
