Abstract
in the mixture solution of acetonitrile and acetic acid. The yield and selectivity were 14.08% and 98.8% under the optimum condition, respectively. The performance of the catalyst still maintained well after 5 catalytic cycles. Hence, the investigated catalyst system might be applied in the field of hydroxylation of benzene to phenol.
