Abstract
Nucleophilic substitution of chlorobenzene by methanol to produce anisole was studied on HZSM-5. Chlorobenzene conversion was around 40–50% with anisole selectivity of 30–40% under the conditions used. Significant yields of methyl anisoles were observed. Thermal and catalytic cracking of chlorobenzene produced high amounts of benzene. A reaction mechanism is proposed. For comparison of activity the reaction was carried out on SK-500.
