Direct oxidation of benzene to phenol catalyzed by a vanadium-substituted heteropolymolybdic acid catalyst

The direct synthesis of phenol by hydroxylation of benzene with hydrogen peroxide over a vanadium substituted heteropolymolybdic acid catalyst was investigated at 70ºC. Hydrogen peroxide was used as the oxidant while 36 wt.% acetic acid was employed as the solvent. After 100 minutes, the selecitity...
