β¦ Synopsis
A variety of aromatic and some aliphatic aldehydes are efficientlv transformed to the corresvondinq carboxvlic acid in presence of catalytic amount of Cobal: (II)-chloride, molecular oxyyen and acetic anhydride at room temperature. Phenolic aldehydes underyo acylatiue oxidation to give the corresponding acylated carboxylic acid.
