	abstract = {<p>Two steps involving catalytic hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to phenylhydroxylamine (PHA) in acid medium and its rearrangement to p-aminophenol (PAP) were studied separately in a batch reactor, using a well-characterized 3\% Pt/C catalyst. The first step of hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to PHA could be carried out at 303 K and a H(2) pressure of 0.69 MPa with complete conversion of nitrobenzene, while the achieved selectivity to PHA was higher than 90\% with some formation of aniline, even at lower temperature. The second step of PHA rearrangement to PAP could be achieved under a hydrogen atmosphere at elevated temperature of 353 K to give a maximum selectivity to PAP of 74\%.</p>},
