Synthesis of 2,6-dimethylphenol in a catalytic fluidized bed of industrial iron-chromium catalyst
PhOH was alkylated with MeOH to 2,6-dimethylphenol (I) on a com. Fe-Cr catalyst in fluidized bed reactor. o-MeC6H4OH by-product was recycled to the reaction to increase the I yield up to 82% and the PhOH conversion to 92%.
