Abstract

Abstract Examination of several solid acid catalysts of different nature (acid resins, zeolites, mixed oxides, Nb-oxide, and Nb-phosphate) was performed for the direct iodination reaction of phenol by using molecular iodine. The experiments were carried out in mild and green conditions (50° C at ambient pressure) in methanol in the presence of H 2 O 2 as oxidant agent. Iodine was introduced in reduced amount, stoichiometric for the formation of di- ...
