Abstract

Cobalt(II) chloride catalyses the oxidative coupling of a wide range of aromatic aldehydes in the presence of dioxygen to afford 1,2-diones or carboxylic acids. Aromatic aldehydes may be transformed to 1,2-diones in the presence of n-butanal whereas the presence of acetic anhydride and n-butanal lead to the formation of the corresponding carboxylic acids.
