Oxidation of alcohols and aldehydes in KOH-dimethoxyethane-O2 systems

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Division of chemical science Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The method presented for oxidation of aromatic aldehydes and alcohols by oxygen in KOH-DME systems makes it possible to obtain carboxylic acids in high yields under mild conditions.

  2. 2.

    The rate of oxidation of alcoholates varies greatly according to the nature of the accompanying action and decreases in the order: K+ > Na+ > L+.
