An integrated process is provided for producing benzene, toluene, and/or xylene and hydrogen from shale gas under the feeding of carbon dioxide. The integrated process for producing an aromatic compound and hydrogen can efficiently and continuously produce high value-added aromatic compounds and hydrogen without the need to separate methane from shale gas through cryogenic distillation.

The present disclosure provides for a rhodium-catalyzed oxidative arene alkenylation from arenes and styrenes to prepare stilbene and stilbene derivatives. For example, the present disclosure provides for method of making arenes or substituted arenes, in particular stilbene and stilbene derivatives, from a reaction of an optionally substituted arene and/or optionally substituted styrene. The reaction includes a Rh catalyst or Rh pre-catalyst material and an oxidant, where the Rh catalyst or Rh catalyst formed Rh pre-catalyst material selectively functionalizes CH bond on the arene compound (e.g., benzene or substituted benzene).
