Title:
PROCESS FOR PRODUCING POLYHYDRIC PHENOL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/125807
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A process for producing a polyhydric phenol, characterized by using the following steps (a) to (d) to produce the phenol:
(a) a first step in which (4S,5R,6S)-4,5,6-trihydroxy-2-cyclohexcen-1-one is produced from 2-deoxy-scyllo-inosose through dehydration,
(b) a second step in which 1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene is produced through dehydration from the (4S,5R,6S)-4,5,6-trihydroxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one obtained in the first step,
(c) a third step in which 4-hydroxycyclohexane-1,3-dione is produced from the 1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene through catalytic hydrogenation using a metal catalyst, and
(d) a fourth step in which the 4-hydroxycyclohexane-1,3-dione is heated to thereby produce hydroquinone.
