Phenol is a key intermediate in chemical industry. The present research work reports facile synthesis of a new copper supported activated red mud as a heterogeneous catalyst for oxidative conversion of benzene to phenol. The process is simple and efficient for one pot hydroxylation reaction using H2O2 as an oxidant. The catalyst was characterized using FTIR, XRD, TEM, XPS and BET surface area analyzer. Catalyst reducible properties were studied using H2-TPR technique. The one-pot hydroxylation reaction, carried out at 75 °C under optimum reaction conditions in presence of catalytic material, shows conversion of benzene to phenol with 84.5 % and 87.1 % selectivity and conversion efficiency, respectively. The proposed mechanism emphasizes upon cooperative effect of residual and embedded metal ions in solid catalyst matrix as the contributing factor for efficient conversion and selectivity. The reusable properties of the material, tested up to 5th consecutive cycles of batch operation, indicate retention of selectivity (83.9 %) as well as conversion efficiency (86.7 %), suitable for future commercial development adhering to the principle of green chemistry.
