Abstract

The product and kinetics studies of 2,3,6-trimethylphenol (TMP) oxidation by 30% aqueous Н2О2 in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst, TiO2–SiO2 aerogel, are performed in an MeCN medium. The main reaction products are 2,3,5-trimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone and 2,2",3,3",6,6"-hexamethyl-4,4"-biphenol. The reaction is first-order in Н2О2 and fractional order (1–0) in TMP. The reaction rate is proportional to the catalyst amount and depends on the water concentration in the reaction mixture in a complex manner. The results suggest the formation of an active intermediate on the titanium center. In this intermediate containing both a TMP molecule and the hydroperoxide group, inner-sphere one-electron oxidation of TMP occurs to give the phenoxyl radical.
