Reaction Steps
10 g of the same catalyst as in Example 16, previously treated with H3PO4 and fired at 550° C., are placed in a 500-ml reactor together with 75 mls of toluene, 50 mls of methylisobutyl ketone and 20 mls of water. There are added 10 mls of 35% H2O2. There are obtained 0.712 g of ortho-cresol (=14.5%), 0.53 g of meta-cresol (10.8%) and 3.7 g of para-cresol (=75%), with a yield relative to H2O2 of 45%.
