A mixture of 1.202 g (10 mmol) of isopropylbenzene, 0.205 g (1 mmol) of N-acetoxyphthalimide, 0.025 g (0.1 mmol) of cobalt(II) acetate tetrahydrate, 0.025 g (0.1 mmol) of manganese(II) acetate tetrahydrate and 15 ml of acetic acid was stirred at 100° C. in an atmosphere of oxygen gas (1 atm=0.1 MPa) for 8 hours and thereby yielded benzoic acid, acetophenone and 2-phenyl-2-propanol in yields of 30%, 9% and 2% (analyzed by gas chromatography), respectively, with a conversion from isopropylbenzene of 65%.
