A process for the decarboxylation-oxidation of a substituted or unsubstituted benzoic acid compound including heating the benzoic acid compound and forming a liquid phase, passing molecular oxygen in the presence of a copper catalyst through the hot liquid phase to form a substituted or unsubstituted phenol compound and a viscous tar-like product, and hydrogenating the viscous tar-like compound to form at least one low-boiling organic compound. |
