The present invention provides a method for converting an aromatic hydrocarbon to a phenol by providing an aromatic hydrocarbon comprising one or more aromatic C-H bonds and one or more activated C-H bonds in a solvent; adding a phthaloyl peroxide to the solvent; converting the phthaloyl peroxide to a di-radical; contacting the di-radical with the one or more aromatic C-H bonds; oxidizing selectively one of the one or more aromatic C-H bonds in preference to the one or more activated C-H bonds; adding a hydroxyl group to the one of the one or more aromatic C-H bonds to form one or more phenols; and purifying the one or more phenols.
本发明提供了一种将
芳香烃转化为
酚的方法,包括提供一种含有一个或多个芳香C-H键和一个或多个活化的C-H键的
芳香烃溶剂;向溶剂中添加邻苯二酰过氧化物;将邻苯二酰过氧化物转化为二自由基;将二自由基与一个或多个芳香C-H键接触;优先氧化一个或多个芳香C-H键中的一个,而不是活化的一个或多个C-H键;向一个或多个芳香C-H键中添加一个羟基以形成一个或多个
酚;并纯化一个或多个
酚。
