A magnetically separable catalyst Al 2 O 3 ‐MgO/Fe 3 O 4 was prepared by Al 2 O 3 ‐MgO supported on magnetic oxide Fe 3 O 4 and charactered by FT‐IR, XRD and SEM. The mixed oxides afforded high catalytic activity and selectivity for synthesis of 1‐phenoxy‐2‐propanol from phenol and propylene oxide with 80.3% conversion and 88.1% selectivity to 1‐phenoxy‐2‐propanol. Especially, facile separation of the catalyst by a magnet was obtained and the catalytic performance of the recovered catalyst was unaffected even at the forth run.
