Possibility of the Benzoic Acids Formation by Oxidation of Benzyl Chlorides in the Sand
نویسندگان
چکیده
Seeking the possibility of the formation of benzoic acids from benzyl halides in natural soil, a model oxidation reaction of the halides was carried out in the presence of water and soil in an open air under UV light irradiation. Addition of TiO2 to soil raised the yield of the acid, implying such a metal oxide plays a real catalytic role in this oxidation. By these supplementary experiments, one of the possibilities for the formation of benzoic acids in natural soil from benzyl chlorides was supported.

Kinetic Studies of the Catalytic Oxidation of Toluene to Benzoic Acid in the Liquid Phase
The catalytic oxidation of toluene to benzoic acid in the liquid phase has been studied in an un-stirred tank reactor. Low concentration of acetic acid was added in order to increase the solubility of the catalyst in toluene. The dependence of the rate of reaction on the concentration of toluene catalyst and oxygen pressure was studied. It has been suggested that liquid phase oxidation of t...

Simple, cheap and green protocol for effective conversion of alcohols to corresponding carbonyl compounds in the presence of H14[NaP5W30O110] and ammonium nitrate is reported. The products were characterized by FT-IR and comparison of their physical properties with those reported in the literatures. The progress of the reaction was monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC) technique. The ali...

In this article, the catalytic activity of bis[2-(p-tolyliminomethyl)phenolato] copper(II) complex was studied, for the first time, in the oxidation of various primary and secondary alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones. The effect of different solvent was studied in the oxidation of benzyl alcohol and methanol was chosen as the reaction medium. Also the effect of different oxidant...
متن کاملNovel scheme for biosynthesis of aryl metabolites from L-phenylalanine in the fungus Bjerkandera adusta.
Aryl metabolite biosynthesis was studied in the white rot fungus Bjerkandera adusta cultivated in a liquid medium supplemented with L-phenylalanine. Aromatic compounds were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry following addition of labelled precursors ((14)C- and (13)C-labelled L-phenylalanine), which did not interfere with fungal metabolism. The major aromatic compounds identified ...
