Abstract

The reaction of phenol in alkaline solution and benzoyl chloride dissolved in toluene with a polymer-supported tri- n-butylphosphonium ion as phase transfer catalyst has been carried out in a slurry reactor. Mass transfer effects have been analysed with the standard theory of porous catalysts. The intrinsic reaction rate constant and diffusion coefficients within the porous polymer particle are estimated. The rate-limiting step has been identified.
