Electrochemical oxidation of alkyl aromatic compounds

Aromatic aldehydes may be prepared by subjecting a methyl-substituted aromatic compound to an electrical energy which includes a direct electrical current utilizing a basic medium to form an acetal, following which the acetal may be converted to the desired aldehyde by subjecting said acetal to acid...
