Abstract
Treatment of acetophenone and acetone with hydrogen peroxide in tertia ry butanol with selenium dioxide as catalyst gave phenylacetic acid an d propionic acid with selectivities of 80% and 97%, respectively. The effects of various process parameters on the reaction rate and selecti vity with respect to the acid have been investigated. The reactions we re first-order with respect to the substrates.
