Methanol → 4-Methoxybenzaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

In the same manner as in Example 1, p-methyl anisole is oxidized with use of an 80% by weight aqueous solution of methanol in place of methanol, affording anisaldehyde in a yield of 97.3%. With use of cerium salt regenerated in the same manner as in Example 1 (and using an 80% by weight methanol aqueous solution in place of methanol) for the second oxidation, anisaldehyde is obtained in a yield of 94.3%.
