The chemoselective methylation of m-cresol and phenol with supercritical methanol (scCH(3)OH) promoted by metal oxide catalysts (MgO, ZrO2, Cs-P-Si and Fe-V/SiO2) was investigated in a continuous flow fixed bed reactor. The use of scCH(3)OH as a carrier medium led to a significant change in the product selectivity compared to that attained in the gas phase reaction, and caused a marked suppression of the degradation of CH3OH during the reaction, resulting in an improvement in the catalyst lifetime. The chemoselective outcome of the reaction was highly influenced by the acid-base character on the solid catalysts examined under supercritical conditions.
