Citral was synthesized by catalytical rearrangement of dehydrolinalool in toluene solution with the present of molybdenyl acetylacetonate, benzoic acid and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
Ethyl cellulose was synthesized successfully in one step based on reaction of cellulose with excess chloroethane and sodium hydroxide in toluene as diluent.
The effects of the catalyst dosage and the preparation conditions of HZ-1 zeolite,for example, number of exchange times on the benzoylation of toluene were studied.
The isomer ratio of o-MNT to p-MNT,the degree of dinitration and the ratio of 2,6-DNT to 2,4-DNT have been investigated in the mononitration product of toluene by mixed acid.
Firstly, p-methylacetophenone was obtained in the presence of alchlor as the catalyst, and the optimum condition was 4:1:2 in molar ratio for toluene, acetic anhydride and alchlor with yield of 86.2%.
