Abstract
Abstract Ethylbenzene was oxidized to acetophenone and a small amount of benzaldehyde in the presence of the aqueous phase under oxygen pressure at 190°C. The yield of acetophenone decreased in the presence of sulfuric acid, sodium sulfate, and iron and copper sulfates. The formation of benzaldehyde was promoted in the presence of iron and copper sulfates and sulfuric acid. These effects can be explained mainly by the decomposition of α-phenylethyl hydroperoxide by the solutes in the aqueous phase.
