title: An efficient cleavage of the aryl ether C-O bond in supercritical carbon dioxide-water.
abstract: A simple and highly efficient Rh/C catalyzed route for the cleavage of the C-O bond of aromatic ether at 80 °C in the presence of 0.5 MPa of H2 in the scCO2-water medium is reported; CO2 pressure and water play a key role under the tested conditions.
