Abstract
Liquid phase autoxidation of p-methoxytoluene to p-anisaldehyde in wat er-acetic acid medium (10-90% vol.) using cobalt acetate as a catalyst has been investigated under or not electrolysis between two graphite electrodes. The rate of formation of anisaldehyde is strongly increase d under electrolysis condition: the maximum anisaldehyde yield occurs at t=70 min whereas this maximum is reached only after t=5 h 30 min wi thout electrolysis.
