Benzaldehyde readily undergoes autoxidation to form benzoic acid on exposure to air at room temperature. Yet it can be formed in high yield from, for example, benzyl alcohol by oxidation using a ...

The oxidation of 2:4: 4-trimethylpentene-1 [α–diisobutylene] [I] by chromium tri-oxide dissolved in acetic anhydride yields a neutral oil containing largely 2: 4: 4-trimethylpentan-1: 2-epoxide [II] ...
