Reaction Steps
A mixture of 2 mmole of phthalide, 2 mole % of N-hydroxyphthalimide relative to phthalide, 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, phthalic anhydride (yield 46%) was formed.
