Liquid-phase Friedel-Crafts benzoylation of benzene using CuXMn(1-X)Fe2O4 spinel catalysts
The liquid-phase Friedel-Crafts acylation of benzene using benzoyl chloride as benzoylating agent was carried out over a CuxMn((1-x))Fe2O4 (X = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1) type system. The catalytic activity has been correlated with surface acidity.
