Method for selectively oxidizing cumene compounds

The invention relates to a method for selectively oxidizing cumene compounds, and the method comprises the following steps: placing cumene compounds shown in a formula (I), an iron porphyrin catalyst,an oxidant and a dispersant into a ball milling tank, sealing the ball milling tank, performing ball milling for 3 to 24 hours at a rotating speed of 100 to 800 rpm at room temperature, stopping ballmilling once every 1 to 3 hours in the ball milling process, discharging gases in the ball milling tank, finishing the reaction, and performing post-treatment on a reaction mixture to obtain product2-phenyl-2-propanol compound shown in a formula (II); according to the invention, the oxidation conversion of the cumene and derivatives thereof is realized through solid-phase ball milling, the reaction mode is novel, the operation is convenient, and the energy consumption is low; the method needs no organic solvent, thus effectively avoiding the use of toxic and harmful organic solvents and being green and environment-friendly; has low peroxide content and high safety factor, and high 2-phenyl-2-propanol and derivative selectivity and meets the social requirements of the current green chemical process, environmental compatibility chemical process and biological compatibility chemical process.
