as a convenient source of stable anhydrous
hydrogen peroxide for performing various electrophilic
oxidations. In the presence of Lewis acid catalysts,
hydroxylation of aromatic hydrocarbons was achieved to generally
give a mixture of the expected phenolic products.
The yields and isomer distributions of the products varied
with the different reagents and provided information regarding
the nature of the electrophilic species involved. [Continues.]
