Dimethyl terephthalate synthesis

15synthesis methods

Product Name:Dimethyl terephthalate
CAS Number:120-61-6
Molecular formula:C10H10O4
Molecular Weight:194.18

Several processes have been developed for the preparation of dimethyl terephthalate from p-xylene, but the most important proceeds as follows:

The oxidation steps are carried out in the liquid phase at about 170°C and 1.5 MPa (15 atmospheres) in the presence of a cobalt acetate or naphthenate catalyst whilst the esterifications are conducted at about 150°C. Dimethyl terephthalate may also be produced by esterification of terephthalic acid.

Reaction Conditions:

with 5 wt percent zeolite NaY-Bf at 180; for 5 h;Autoclave;Green chemistry;

Steps:

Methylation of carboxylic acids with dimethylcarbonate. General procedure

General procedure: Into a stainless steel pressure microreactor of capacity 17 mL was charged 5 wt % of zeolite NaY-Bf, 100 mmol of carboxylic acid, and 300-400 mmol of dimethyl carbonate, the reactor was hermetically closed, and the reaction mixture was heated at 180-200°C for 5 h. On completion of the reaction the reactor was cooled to room temperature, opened, the reaction mixture was filtered through a bed of Al2O3. Unreacted dimethyl carbonate was distilled off, the residue was distilled at atmospheric pressure or in a vacuum, or it was crystallized from ethanol.
