Abstract

Abstract On the basis of studies of the transformation of benzylic bromides into the corresponding aromatic aldehydes by treatment with N-methylmorpholine N-oxide, various methylarenes were treated either with DBDMH in the presence of AIBN in acetonitrile at reflux (Method A) or with NBS in CCl 4 under irradiation with a tungsten lamp at 30 C (Method B), followed by treatment with N-methylmorpholine N-oxide to provide aromatic ...
