Gas‐phase electrochemistry : The direct hydroxylation of benzene to phenol was investigated using an electrochemical cell. The production of phenol over a VO x anode was found to be significant at 50 °C. The resultant current efficiency for phenol production and selectivity toward phenol reached 76.5 and 94.7 %, respectively.
