Abstract

The electrochemical oxidation of activated alkyl substituted aromatic compounds in which the alkyl substituent is acyloxylated in a direct oxidation process may be effected by treating an activated alkyl substituted aromatic compound with a fatty acid, an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt thereof and a phase transfer agent in an electrochemical cell to form oxidative products of the starting compound.
