Abstract

Aromatic carboxylic acids are prepared by oxidizing an alkyl substituted aromatic hydrocarbon in the liquid phase in an organic acid medium by means of oxygen or an oxygen-containing gas in the conjoint presence of a metal and bromine, e.g. a metal bromide, and in the presence of a ketone or other organic compound which forms a peroxide under the conditions of the oxidation reaction. The reaction may take place using at least 5% and preferably about 20%, by weight of the aromatic compound, of a ketone or other compound such as methyl ethyl ketone, acetaldehyde, benzaldehyde or nitromethane at a temperature lower than usual, e.g. about 80 DEG C. The use of these four peroxide-forming compounds is exemplified in the oxidation of p-xylene, m-xylene and toluene in an acetic acid medium using oxygen as the oxidizing gas at 80 DEG or 100 DEG C. in the presence of cobalt, manganese or barium bromides, or a mixture of cobalt acetate and barium bromide. Specifications 807,091 and 810,020 are referred to.
