Research on Oxidation of Phenanthrene to Phenanthrenequinone with TBHP

摘要

The oxidation of phenanthrene with TBHP into phenanthrenequinone has been studied. Reaction conditions were investigated by orthogonal test, and main technical parameters optimized. The optimum preparation conditions of TBHP were as follows: molar ratio of H_2O_2 to tert-butyl alcohol: 2:1; molar ratio of H_2SO_4 to tert-butyl alcohol: 0.4:1; reaction temperature: 60°C; reaction time: 4 h. And for the preparation of phenanthrenequinone the optimum conditions: molar ratio of TBHP to phenanthrene: 5:1; MoO_2(acac)_2 (catalyster) content: 0.05g(per 5g phenanthrene); reaction time: 4h.
