Abstract
Addition of traces of iridium(III) chloride with cerium(IV) sulfate (catalyst–substrate ratio (1:2994 to 1:10,000) in traditional water-bath heating resulted in the oxidation of p-chlorobenzaldehyde, p-nitrobenzaldehyde, benzyl alcohol, p-methoxy benzyl alcohol, p-xylene, and p-nitrotoluene dissolved in acetic acid to give 77%, 90%, 21.7%, 88.6%, 86.2%, and 18% yields of the products, respectively, while catechol and resorcinol polymerized. Oxidation of aldehydes and alcohols resulted as usual in the corresponding acids and aldehydes, respectively, while p-xylene and p-nitrotoluene gave p-tolualdehyde and p-nitrobenzoic acid. Conditions were obtained for getting the highest yields under the experimental conditions.
