Abstract
A convenient method for oxidative transformation of aromatic, heteroaromati c and aliphatic aldehydes into carboxylic acids is presented. It is based o n the oxidation of aldehydes in THF using 30% hydrogen peroxide in the pres ence of 5 molar % of selenium(IV) oxide. The scope and limitation of the me thod are discussed.
