Abstract

The reactions can be carried out effectively in high yields in water (Table 1) without the generation of any toxic waste by products. In the case of 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene and xylene, all of methyl groups converted to the aldehyde groups. Similarly, toluene and p-methoxytoluene under the reaction conditions gave high yields of benzaldehyde and p-methoxybenzaldehyde, respectively. Introduction of electron-withdrawing groups, such as bromine and nitro ...
