Hydroxylation of Benzene with Dinitrogen Monoxide over H-ZSM-5 Zeolite

Abstract

Abstract Phenol was obtained from benzene and dinitrogen monoxide over H-ZSM-5 zeolite at 603 K, a phenol yield on a benzene basis being 8.1% at partial pressures of benzene and dinitrogen monoxide of 6.9 kPa and 51 kPa, respectively. Neither CO nor CO2 was detected in the product.
