Benzene to Phenol via Cumene: Hock Process

2.6K Views. The synthesis of phenol from benzene via cumene and cumene hydroperoxide is called the Hock process. First, a Friedel–Crafts alkylation reaction of benzene with propene gives cumene. Then cumene forms cumene hydroperoxide via a radical chain reaction. In the chain initiation step, the benzylic hydrogen is abstracted to give a benzylic radical.

Phenol

The vast majority of phenol is made by the cumene process. The process has three stages: a) production of cumene. b) conversion of cumene to cumene hydroperoxide. c) decomposition of cumene hydroperoxide. Cumene is the name often given to (1-methylethyl)benzene (isopropylbenzene).
