Iy. Litvintsev et al., KINETICS AND MECHANISM OF CATALYTIC HYDROXYLATION OF PHENOL BY HYDROGEN-PEROXIDE .1. GENERAL RELATIONSHIPS OF PROCESS VARIABLES, Kinetics and catalysis, 34(1), 1993, pp. 71-75
Various types of homogeneous catalysts have been investigated to deter
mine their influence on the rate and selectivity of hydroxylation of p
henol by hydrogen peroxide. General relationships in the course of the
process have been established - relationships that are also character
istic for a number of monosubstituted derivatives of phenol. The influ
ence of initial parameters on the length of the induction period has b
een investigated, and a mechanism is proposed for the induction period
.
