The role of oxygen in the hydroxylation of benzene with Fenton's reagent was studied in a 0.05 M H2S0, solution. The main products are phenol and benzoquinone in the molar ratio ca. 10: 1. A precise determination of material balance with respect to benzene indicated that the selectivity of phenol is rather low, less than 50%. On the other hand, the conversion of H 2 0 2 into aromatic oxidation products including unidentified byproducts is unexpectedly high. Tracer study with ('802)2 gas indicated that the isotope incorporation in phenol is ca. 20%, while the incorporation in benzoquinone is perfect. It was also shown that both oxygen and benzene were consumed in excess of H 2 0 2 during the reaction. To account for all of these results, regeneration of H 2 0 2 resulting from Dorfman's mechanism has been proposed. By the aid of computer simulation, the amount of H202 regenerated was estimated to be around 20% of H202 initially used. Factors affecting the isotope incorporation in phenol were also discussed.
