Abstract

Experiments on the oxidation reactions of p-fluorobenzyl alcohol and chloride were carried out. Several oxidizing agents (manganese dioxide, 30% hydrogen peroxide and hypochlorite solutions at different concentrations) were used, and a mixture of p- fluorobenzaldehyde and p-fluorobenzoic acid in different proportions was obtained. In the case of p-fluorobenzyl chloride, some p-fluorobenzyl alcohol was also found in the ...
