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.
