Procedure

A mixture of 2 mmole of benzylmethylether, 2 mole % of N-hydroxyphthalimide relative to benzylmethylether, and 5 ml of benzonitrile was stirred for 12 hours at 100° C. under an oxygen atmosphere. The products in the reaction mixture were analyzed by gas chromarography, and, as a result, methyl benzoate (yield 60%) was formed.
