Water → 2-Nitrobenzaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

In the same manner as in Example 3, the operation was conducted, except that 0.61 g (4 mmols) of o-nitrobenzyl alcohol was used in place of m-methoxybenzyl alcohol and 2 ml of water and one drop of 47% bromic acid were used in place of 2 ml of acetic acid. With respect to the components in the reaction solution, the intended o-nitrobenzaldehyde was produced in an area ratio, as determined by gas chromatography, of 75.2% and 24.2% of o-nitrobenzyl alcohol as a raw material was remained.
