Reaction Steps

The test described in Example 1 was repeated using 300 g of p-bromotoluene, 700 g of acetic acid, 50 g of water, 6 g of cobalt acetate tetrahydrate, 5 g of sodium bromide and 5 g of sodium acetate. In a reaction time of 170 minutes, 292.4 g of p-bromobenzoic acid was obtained (80% of the theory).
