METHOD FOR PRODUCING 4-ISOPROPYLCYCLOHEXYLMETHANOL

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing 4-isopropylcyclohexylmethanol (IPCHM) from para-cymene. The method for producing 4 isopropylcyclohexylmethanol (IPCHM) comprises an electrochemical method for producing a mixture of 4 isopropylbenzaldehyddimethylacetal and 4-(1-alkoxy-1-methyl-ethyl)-benzaldehyddimethylacetal and intermediates thereby passing through, a hydrolysis step for forming the corresponding benzaldehydes, and a hydrating of said mixture, forming 4-isopropylcyclohexylmethanol (IPCHM).
