Procedure

Khandual et al., J. Indian Chem. Soc., 49, 557-560 (Eng.) (1972), as abstracted in C.A. (1972), 77, 125628g, show the oxidation of acetophenone in 95% acetic acid by manganic acetate to form benzoic acid, and formaldehyde. The oxidation of acetophenone containing ring substituents, e.g., methoxy, is also taught.
