Abstract
A process for purifying 1,1,3,4,4,6-hexamethyltetralin is disclosed comprising melting crude 1,1,3,4,4,6-hexamethyltetralin in methanol with heating, cooling the resulting suspension, and adding seed crystals at a temperature of 45.degree.-60.degree. C.; as well as a process for purifying 1,1,3,4,4,6-hexamethyltetralin comprising recrystallizing crude 1,1,3,4,4,6-hexamethyltetralin from a mixed solvent of methanol and a solvent capable of easily dissolving 1,1,3,4,4,6-hexamethyltetralin, the proportion of this solvent being 10 to 25% by weight based on the weight of methanol. These processes make it possible to obtain 1,1,3,4,4,6-hexamethyltetralin of high purity easily with high recovery by purifying crude 1,1,3,4,4,6-hexamethyltetralin.
