METHOD FOR PREPARING BENZYL ALCOHOL AND PARTIAL OXIDATION CATALYST USED THEREIN

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for efficiently preparing benzyl alcohol of an oxygen-containing aromatic organic compound from toluene of an aromatic in one step with good selectivity, and a solid catalyst used in this method. SOLUTION: The solid catalyst is obtained by bringing a silica based mesoporous body carrying a transition metal catalyst into contact with water. The method for preparing benzyl alcohol comprises reacting oxygen with toluene in the presence of this catalyst. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
