Abstract
Abstract The solubility of benzaldehyde in solutions of potassium laurate and cetomacrogol, has been measured at 20°. Oxidation rates of emulsified and solubilised benzaldehyde have been observed manometrically at 25°. The effect of concentration of surface-active agent on the oxidation rate of benzaldehyde has been studied. Emulsified benzaldehyde oxidised at a greater rate than solubilised benzaldehyde. Emulsified benzaldehyde was more susceptible to the action of copper catalysts than was solubilised benzaldehyde. Possible reaction mechanisms and loci of reaction are discussed.
