The present invention relates to a visible-light-mediated one-step method for preparing phenol and cyclohexanone from cyclohexylbenzene (CHB). The method specifically comprises: under the irradiation of visible light, and with a hydrogen bromide solution as a catalyst and oxygen as an oxidizing agent, directly oxidizing cyclohexylbenzene in an organic solvent to break a carbon-carbon bond, so as to generate phenol and cyclohexanone. The method avoids such a process in a cyclohexylbenzene method in the prior art that cyclohexylbenzene needs to be first oxidized to obtain cyclohexylbenzene-1-hydroperoxide (1-CHBHP), then the mixture of the oxidation reaction products is treated, and then a cyclohexylbenzene peroxide is decomposed in an acidic condition to obtain phenol and cyclohexanone, and also avoids potential risks caused by the accumulation of peroxides. In addition, the method further has a great number of advantages of the operation being simple, reagents being easily available, reaction conditions being mild, easy control being achievable, the reaction being able to be scaled-up, a good selectivity being obtained, etc.

The present disclosure relates to an improved, environmentally friendly, process for producing compounds such as hydroquinone (benzene-1,4-diol) and its derivatives. The process can be carried out at ambient temperature and pressure using a recyclable copper catalyst and recyclable intermediate materials. The process generally entails reacting an aromatic compound such as benzene with hydrogen peroxide in the present of a pure elemental copper catalyst or a copper (I) salt catalyst to form oxidation product such as benzoquinone, and reducing the compound to hydroquinone or a hydroquinone derivative.
