Procedure

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the feedstock that is subjected to liquid phase oxidation to convert benzyl benzoate to benzoic acid is obtained from a tar or other residue resulting from a process in which toluene is oxidized with an oxygen-containing gas in the liquid phase in the presence of a heavy metal oxidation catalyst to produce an oxidation product mixture, and benzaldehyde and/or benzoic acid is recovered from the oxidation product mixture.
