Abstract :
A novel approach to the direct synthesis of phenol from benzene was obtained with high benzene conversion (30%) and phenol selectivity (~90%) by using a microporous material [Ca24Al28O64]^4+·4O^–(C12A7-O^–) as catalyst with oxygen and water; active O^– and OH^– anions are proposed to play important roles in the formation of phenol by hydroxylating the aromatic ring of benzene.
