What is Synthesis of Phenol from Benzene about?
Benzene can be converted to phenol through a four step chemical process involving sulfonation with sulfuric acid, neutralization with sodium sulfite, fusion with sodium hydroxide, and acidification with sulfuric acid and sodium phenoxide to produce crude phenol. The process requires filtration, distillation, and crystallization equipment to separate the reaction byproducts and recover the sodium sulfite. This sulfonation process for producing phenol from benzene is one of the oldest methods.
