An improved oxidation approach for preparing 4-substituted-2,6- diformylphenol by manganese(IV) dioxide

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397910008087188

The method for the oxidation of 4-alkyl-2,6-di(hydroxymethyl)phenol to 4-alkyl-2,6-diformylphenol (alkyl = Me or t-Bu) by activated manganese(IV) dioxide was improved, and also expanded to the oxidation of 4-chloro-2,6- di(hydroxymethyl)phenol. The resulting three dialdehydes were obtained in good yields.
