Abstract

The kinetics and mechanism of the reaction of ozone with acetoxytoluenes in an acetic anhydride solution in the presence of manganese acetate have been studied. The main reaction products under these conditions are hydroxybenzyl alcohols in the form of the corresponding acetoxybenzyl acetates (65-77%). The effect of manganese (II) acetate on the selectivity of oxidation with respect to the methyl group has been studied. The mechanism of redox catalysis is considered, which explains the obtained experimental data.
