Title: Influence of process conditions on carboxylation of higher alkylphenols by Kolbe-Schmidt reaction

OSTI ID:6192716

The authors present experimental data on the carboxylation of higher alkylphenols prepared by alkylating phenol with a 240-320/sup 0/C alpha-olefin cut obtained by thermal cracking of the paraffins, on KU-2 catalyst. Experiments were performed to determine the influence of temperature and pressure on the conversion of sodium alkylphenolate to alkylsalicylate. The content of alkylphenols in the carboxylated products was demonstrated by solubilizing the carboxylate in water, subsequently centrifuging the water-organic mixture that was obtained. From the data presented here, it follows that in the carboxylation of sodium alkylphenolate, side reactions can be minimized if the process is performed at 130-135/sup 0/C with a CO/sub 2/ pressure no lower than 2 MPa.
