Methylbenzene, its main use is quite extensive. In the industrial field, it is an important raw material for organic synthesis. Due to its unique structure, it can be derived from many other organic compounds through many chemical reactions. For example, halogen atoms can be introduced on the benzene ring or methyl through halogenation reactions. This halogenated product is a key intermediate for the synthesis of fine chemicals such as medicines, pesticides, and dyes.
Furthermore, in the field of solvents, methyl benzene also exhibits excellent performance. It has good solubility and can dissolve many organic substances, such as resins, rubbers, etc. Therefore, in the paint, ink, adhesive and other industries, it is often used as a solvent to adjust the viscosity and drying speed of products, thereby improving the performance of products.
In addition, methyl benzene also has a place in the fuel field. Adding an appropriate amount to gasoline can effectively increase the octane number of gasoline, enhance the anti-explosion performance of the fuel, make the engine run more smoothly, improve combustion efficiency, and reduce energy consumption and pollutant emissions. Therefore, methylbenzene plays an indispensable role in many fields such as organic synthesis, solvents, and fuels, and has a profound impact on the development of modern industry.
Methylbenzene, at room temperature, is a colorless and transparent liquid, with a fragrant smell, just like the blue of the valley, with a faint aroma. Its boiling point is about 110.6 ° C, just like that of cooking at a proper temperature. At this temperature, its physical state changes. The melting point is -94.9 ° C. At this low temperature, it is like sleeping ice crystals, condensing but not moving.
Its density is smaller than that of water, about 0.866g/cm ³, just like that of a light boat floating on the water, floating on the blue waves. And it is insoluble in water, but it can dissolve with organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, acetone, etc., just like a confidant meeting and blending.
The vapor of methylbenzene is heavier than air, about 2.77 times that of air, just like the heavy cloud, close to the ground. Its vapor and air can form an explosive mixture, which can cause combustion and explosion in case of open flame and high heat, just like the dry firewood in case of fire, it is ready to explode at the touch, so when using it, you need to be very cautious and must not take it lightly.
In addition, methylbenzene has a certain volatility and can gradually evaporate in the air, such as the morning fog dissipating, invisible. Its vapor is irritating to the eyes and upper respiratory tract. If inhaled in excess, it will also cause damage to human health, like an invisible enemy, quietly invading. When using, be sure to take protective measures to ensure safety.
Methylbenzene has unique chemical properties. In terms of aromaticity, the benzene ring gives it a certain stability, and it is not prone to addition reactions, and tends to electrophilic substitution reactions. Because the π electron cloud of the benzene ring has a high electron density, it is easy to attract electrophilic reagents to attack. For example, when reacting with halogen, nitric acid, sulfuric acid and other reagents, the corresponding substituents can be introduced on the benzene ring.
In terms of the effect of methyl on the benzene ring, methyl is the power supply group, which can increase the electron cloud density of the benzene ring, especially in the ortho and para-positions. This effect causes the electrophilic substitution activity of methyl benzene to be higher than that of benzene, and the substitution reaction mainly occurs in the ortho and para-positions. Taking the nitration reaction of toluene as an example, compared with benzene, toluene is more easily nitrified, and the main products are o-nitrotoluene and p-nitrotoluene.
Furthermore, methyl can be oxidized. Under the action of appropriate oxidizing agents, methyl can be oxidized to carboxyl This reaction is an important functional group conversion step in organic synthesis and can be used to prepare a variety of organic compounds containing carboxyl groups.
Due to the presence of methyl groups, there is a weak van der Waals force between methyl benzene molecules, and its physical properties such as boiling point and melting point are also different from those of benzene. Overall, the introduction of methyl groups changes the chemical properties of benzene, which has a wide range of applications and research value in the fields of organic synthesis and chemical industry.
2. Methyl bromide production method:
- ** Prepared by the reaction of methane and bromine **:
- This is an ancient method, using methane (CH) and bromine (Br ²) as raw materials to initiate a reaction under light conditions. Light provides energy to promote the splitting of bromine molecules into bromine radicals (· Br). The bromine radicals collide with the methane molecule, capture a hydrogen atom in the methane molecule, and generate hydrogen bromide (HBr) and methyl radicals (· CH 🥰). The methyl radical reacts with the bromine molecule to generate methyl bromide (CH 🥰 Br) and another bromine radical, and so on.
- The reaction equation is: CH + Br ² $\ xrightarrow [] {light} $CH 😉 Br + HBr. However, this reaction has many side reactions, resulting in by-products such as dibromomethane (CH ³ Br ²), tribromomethane (CHBr 😉) and carbon tetrabromide (CBr). It is difficult to separate and purify, and the yield is limited. It is rarely produced by this method alone.
- ** Prepared by the reaction of methanol and hydrogen bromide **:
- With methanol (CH 😉 OH) and hydrogen bromide (HBr) as reactants, the reaction is usually carried out in the presence of catalysts such as sulfuric acid. The function of sulfuric acid is to enhance the nucleophilicity of hydrogen bromide and promote the smooth progress of the reaction. The hydroxyl group (-OH) of methanol is replaced by bromide ions (Br) to form methyl bromide and water.
- The reaction equation is: CH
OH + HBr $\ xrightarrow [] {H < SO} $CH < Br + H < O. This method is relatively simple, with few side reactions, and the product is easier to separate and purify, and is widely used in industrial production. The reaction conditions are mild and the equipment requirements are relatively low. The yield and purity of methyl bromide can be improved by controlling the reaction temperature, the proportion of reactants and the amount of catalyst.
- ** Prepared from the reaction of methylene chloride with sodium bromide **:
- The reaction takes place with chloromethane (CH < Cl) and sodium bromide (NaBr) as raw materials under the action of appropriate solvents (such as polar aprotic solvents such as DMF) and catalysts. In polar aprotic solvents, the nucleophilicity of bromine ions (Br) is enhanced, and it can replace chlorine atoms in methane chloride to form methyl bromide and sodium chloride (NaCl).
- The reaction equation is: CH < Cl + NaBr $\ xrightarrow [] {catalyst, solvent} $CH < Br + NaCl. The raw materials of this method are relatively easy to obtain, the reaction conditions are easy to control, and chloromethane, a by-product of chlor-alkali industry, can be used to reduce production costs, and has certain application value in industrial production.
The first priority is safety. Methyl silicon is volatile, and if its vapor enters the human body, it may damage the respiratory and nervous systems. Therefore, the place used must be well ventilated so that the steam can be dissipated, and protective equipment such as gas masks, gloves, goggles, etc. should be prepared to prevent steam and liquids from touching the body.
The second is storage. Methyl silicon is active, easy to react with other objects, in case of open flames, hot topics or risk of explosion. When stored in a cool, dry and ventilated place, away from fire and heat sources, and should not be mixed with oxidants, acids, etc., to avoid change.
Furthermore, the use of methyl silicon in specific processes must strictly follow the procedures. The reaction conditions, such as temperature, pressure, catalyst dosage, etc., have a great impact on the reaction effect and product quality. If the conditions are improper, or the reaction is poor, the product is impure, or even there is an accident.
Again, pay attention to environmental protection. Waste after the use of methyl silicon, or containing harmful components, should not be disposed of at will. It should be properly handled in accordance with environmental protection laws to avoid polluting the environment.
As for cyano-methyl, it also has active chemistry. When used, safety protection, storage conditions, etc., are mostly similar to methyl silica. Before use, study its physical and chemical properties and reaction characteristics in detail, and operate with caution to prevent accidents.
In short, the use of cyano-methyl and methyl silica requires safety, regulations must be followed, and environmental protection is not forgotten. In this way, everything goes smoothly and is harmless.
