Reaction Steps
In an oxygen atmosphere, a mixture of 1.06 grams (10 millimoles) of o-xylene, 0.16 gram (1 millimole) of N-hydroxyphthalimide, 0.018 gram (0.05 millimole) of acetylacetonatocobalt(III) Co(AA)3 and 25 milliliters of acetic acid was stirred at a temperature of 100° C. for 6 hours. As a result, o-xylene was transformed into phthalic acid (yield 18%) and o-methylbenzoic acid (yield 71%) with a transformation rate of 92%.
