Abstract

A new catalytic oxidation method for the preparation of aromatic carboxylic acids from methyl aryl ketones is reported. The method is an alternative to the haloform reaction; it is benign and affords the desired product without production of any harmful side products. The catalytic cycle is based on the use of an electron-deficient nitroarene as catalyst with either of the two cheap and green oxidants sodium percarbonate or sodium perborate. The ...
