Abstract

Results in Table 1 indicate that toluene and its substituted derivatives carrying both electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups converted to corresponding aldehydes in good to excellent yields (Entries 1–10). Further oxidation of aldehydes to their carboxylic acids was not observed. The data also demonstrate that the yields obtained from toluenes with electron-donating groups (Entries 2–4) are to some extent higher than the yields from ...
