となるには余りにも高すぎる。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The oxidation of phenol to p-benzoquinone with oxygen in the presence of a copper ion catalyst is known in the art, and such a process is disclosed in US Pat. No. 3,987,068. In that patent, the oxidation is carried out using a complex formed from a copper catalyst and a solvent in a nitrile solvent, the operating conditions being a temperature of about 0 to 100°C, an oxygen partial pressure of about 7 to 200 (preferably 14 to 100) atm. It is said that US patent 3
As noted in No. 987,068, the yield of quinone product increases with increasing oxygen partial pressure, and data therein show that oxygen partial pressures above about 100 atm decrease the p- appears to be required to achieve conversion to benzoquinone. Such oxygen pressures are too high to be useful in economical commercial processes because they require specialized equipment with high capital costs.

In such reactions, solvents such as water are disclosed, and other polar solvents that are soluble or miscible with water can also be used. Such solvents are exemplified by the following species: amides, alcohols and sulfoxides. It is also stated that any of the various solvents can be used alone or in any proportion with water.

No. 84, filed in the United States on September 27, 1982, in which we describe the copper-catalyzed oxidation of phenol to p-benzoquinone in a nitrile solvent and the molar ratio of base to copper catalyst. It is fully disclosed that significant improvements are achieved by using divalent copper catalysts promoted with alkali metal bases such that the ratio is not greater than 2.0. The use of water in the reaction system at about 10% by volume or less further improves the reaction in increasing selectivity.
