Procedure

Experiments conducted at 120° C. using just Cobalt (III) acetate without any promoters in air and using acetic acid as solvent resulted in much quicker oxidation than Cobalt (II) acetate with the promoters as described above, leading to rapid consumption of xylenes, as indicated by the green solution turning pink-purple after approximately an hour. Under identical reaction conditions using Co(II) there was a long induction period before any early phase oxidation.
