Abstract

Phenylacetonitrile and its derivatives were treated with alcohols in the presence of potassium iodide and iodine affording the corresponding benzoate esters via degradation, oxidation and esterification under mild conditions. The products were characterised by IR, 1H NMR, MS and elemental analysis.
