Abstract
2,3,5-Trimethyl-p-benzoquinone is prepared advantageously by the catalytic oxidation of 2,3,5- or 2,3,6-trimethylphenol with hydrogen peroxide in an organic solvent, which is preferably acetic acid, in the presence of a catalyst which is a heteropolyacid of silicon or phosphorus as the center atom selected from phosphomolybdic acid, silicomolybdic acid, phosphotungstic acid and silicotungstic acid. The reaction proceeds rapidly even at room temperature to give the product in a high yield so that the method is industrially advantageous in addition to the advantages in respect of the inexpensiveness of the reactants and catalyst and absence of any noxious byproducts which may cause environmental pollution.
