A. Sclafani et al., SYNTHESIS OF 2-HYDROXYBENZOIC ACID FROM CO2 AND PHENOL IN AQUEOUS HETEROGENEOUS PHOTOCATALYTIC SYSTEMS, Chemical communications, (6), 1997, pp. 529-530
The photocatalytic reaction occurring in aqueous deaereated suspension
s saturated with CO2 and containing polycrystalline semiconductors, ba
re or loaded with Pt or Cu, affords 2-hydroxybenzoic acid and catechol
as the main products.
