Abstract

Silica-supported benzenesulfonic acid has a high catalyst activity for the title reaction. A nitrobenzene yield on benzene basis and on nitrogen dioxide basis attained to 93% and 70%, respectively, at 443 K under partial pressures of benzene and nitrogen dioxide of 9.3 kPa and 19 kPa, respectively.
