The invention discloses a method for preparing hydrocarbyl phenol by catalytic conversion of a phenolic compound in the presence of a molybdenum-based catalyst. The method comprises mixing a phenoliccompound, a molybdenum-based catalyst and a reaction solvent, adding the mixture into a sealed reactor, feeding gas into the reactor, heating the mixture to 150-350 DEG C, carrying out stirring for areaction for 0.5-2h, then filtering to remove a solid catalyst and carrying out rotary evaporateion to obtain a liquid product. The phenolic compound has a wide source, a cost is low, product alkyl phenol selectivity is high, an added value is high, alcohol or an alcohol-water mixture is used as a reaction solvent, environmental friendliness is realized, pollution is avoided, any inorganic acids and alkalis are avoided in the reaction process, the common environmental pollution problems in the biomass processing technology are solved, the reaction conditions are mild, the process can be carried out at a low temperature, high-efficiency conversion of the reactants can be realized without consuming hydrogen gas and the method is suitable for large-scale industrial trial production.

Our previous work showed that for catalytic alkylation of m-cresol with tert-butanol (TBA) SO3H-functionalized ionic liquids exhibited several characteristic advantages over conventional catalysts. This work investigated the reaction mechanism of the alkylation of m-cresol with tert-butanol catalyzed by the SO3H-functionalized ionic liquid (IL) through quantum chemical calculation in combination with the experimental studies. The experimental results showed that 2-tert-butyl-5-methyl phenol (2-TBC), 4-tert-butyl-3-methyl phenol (4-TBC) and tert-butyl-m-cresol ether (TBMCE) products were all primary products, while 2,6-di-tert-butyl-3-methyl phenol (2,6-DTBC) was a secondary product. The calculation results indicated that the selectivities of the products depended on the fundamental natures of the reactive sites, including the orbital overlap, the Coulomb and the steric effect in the interaction between the tert-butyl ion ([t-C4H9]+) and the m-cresol; the TBMCE was dynamically favored but not thermodynamically stable, while the C-alkylated products, especially 2-TBC, were the thermodynamically preferred products; the IL played an important role in generating the [t-C4H9]+ from the TBA and the final products from the intermediates.
