Selective mono- and bis-oxidation of 2,6-bis(hydroxy methyl) phenols with active manganese dioxide

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919408012625

Selective mono- and bis-oxidations of 2, 6-bis (hydroxy methyl) phenols with active M(n)O₂ were realized, giving 2-hydroxy-3- hydroxymethyl benzaldehydes and 2-hydroxyisophthalaldehydes in good yields. The influence of oxidant activity, reaction solvent and temperature on the selectivity were investigated, and favorable conditions developed.
