Abstract
A convenient method for oxidative transformation of aromatic, hetero-aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes into carboxylic acids is presented. It is based on the oxidation of aldehydes in THF using 30% hydrogen peroxide in the presence of 5 molar % of selenium(IV) oxide. The scope and limitation of the method are discussed.
