Abstract

Aromatic azomethine compounds, such as aldazines 1, aldoximes 7 and tosylhydrazones 8 oxidized with 30% hydrogen peroxide in the presence of poly (bis-1, 2-phenylene) diselenide (6) as catalyst produce arenecarboxylic acids 2 mostly in high to excellent yields. The presented one-pot procedure has a synthetic value.
