Abstract
Alkyl aromatic compounds may be subjected to electrochemical oxidation in an appropriate electrochemical cell utilizing an emulsion solution comprising said alkyl aromatic compound in an aqueous acidic medium which contains a salt of a transition metal. The reaction is effected at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure utilizing an electrical energy which includes a voltage in the range of from 2 to about 30 volts or a current density in the range of from about 20 to about 1000 milliamps per square centimeter.
