Ethylbenzene to Benzoic Acid
The method of making benzoic acid from ethylbenzene
For ethylbenzene, if you want to make benzoic acid, the method is as follows. It is often used as a strong oxidizing agent. A solution of potassium permanganate is commonly used. Under appropriate reaction conditions, ethylbenzene is mixed with potassium permanganate. When reacting, it is necessary to control its temperature, pH and other conditions. The temperature should be moderate. If it is too high, the reaction will be too fast, or side reactions will occur; if it is too low, the reaction will be slow.
When ethylbenzene encounters potassium permanganate, the ethyl group of the side chain of the benzene ring is oxidized. During the process, the ethyl group is gradually transformed into a carboxyl group to obtain benzoic acid. After the reaction is completed, it is often necessary to separate and purify. First, the reaction product is separated from other components in the reaction solution by After recrystallization, pure benzoic acid is obtained to achieve the required purity standard. In this way, benzoic acid can be prepared from ethylbenzene.
