	abstract = {<p>Air oxidation of p-cresol under very mild conditions (338 K and ambient pressure) was carried out in a semibatch reactor over a solid catalyst developed by intercalating cobalt-salen into the montmorillonite clay. The intercalation of cobalt - salen was done by a simple protocol, and the characterization of the intercalated catalyst was done by XPS, FTIR, and XRD techniques. A total selectivity \&gt;= 90\% to the oxidation products could be achieved with this solid catalyst by eliminating the undesired coupling side products in air oxidation of p-cresol under ambient pressure conditions. Effect of various process parameters on the conversion and selectivity pattern were also studied, and it was found that the selectivity ratio of aldehyde to alcohol could be varied by suitably changing the reaction conditions. This heterogeneous catalyst was found to give a 5-fold higher turnover number than the homogeneous cobalt - salen complex.</p>},

	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>},
