Reaction Steps

The test described in Example 1 was repeated using 300 g of o-bromotoluene, 660 g of acetic acid, 60 g of water, 6 g of cobalt acetate tetrahydrate, 5 g of sodium bromide and 5 g of sodium acetate. After a reaction time of 155 minutes, 217 g of o-bromobenzoic acid was obtained (61.6% of the theory).
