Mechanism, Kinetics and Modelling of Phenol Carboxylation Reactions with CO₂.

ABSTRACT: Combining carboxylation reactions using carbon dioxide (CO₂) as a reactant with phenol results in creation of new C-C bonds, and represents one of the most promising routes in sustainable utilization of ubiquitous and readily available resources for production of highly valuable products. This study provides a detailed and well-structured investigation of the effect of various reaction conditions (reactant loading, reaction duration, temperature, CO₂ pressure) on the carboxylation of phenol. Sodium phenoxide carboxylation showed well-resolved trends with variation of temperature and time, and resulted in production of salicylic acid (SA) in the range of 11.4 to 47.8%, 4-hydoxybenzoic acid (4HBA) in the range of 2.0 to 8.2%, while the dicarboxylated 4-hydroxyisophthali
