摘要
Supported iron(III) ions on neutral γ-alumina are an efficient catalyst for the oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons with hydrogen peroxide in acetonitrile at 60°C. The catalyst is active in the low temperatue liquid phase oxidation of benzene, toluene, chlorobenzene, p-xylene, mesitylene, benzaldehyde with hydrogen peroxide. Conversions of 31–88%with respect to starting substrate were obtained within 6h. Oxidation on both the side chain and the aromatic ring of hydrocarbons occurred.
