Synthesis of phenol from benzene by electroreduction of oxygen in CF3SO3H

Abstract

A one-step synthesis of phenol from benzene was achieved at a current efficiency of 22–41, 11, and 6% on graphite, Au black, and Pt black cathodes, respectively, by electrochemical reduction of oxygen gas in a highly acidic solvent, CF3SO3H, at room temperature.
