Conclusions
-
1.
The coupled oxidation of benzene and ethanol was studied at 200–215° and a pressure of 50 atm of air; the conditions ensuring the production of phenol at rates of ∼10−5 moles/liter·sec in concentrations up to 0.055 M were found.
-
2.
The oxidation of ethanol with benzene, initiated by cumyl peroxide, in mixtures with a 4∶1 reagent ratio (by volume), is characterized by quadratic chain termination, while in 1∶4 mixtures it is characterized by linear chain termination.
-
3.
A mechanism of the event of interaction of HO2 radicals with benzene was proposed.
