Positive-ion, methane-mediated chemical ionization mass spectra were measured for simple bifunctional aromatic compounds of the type m-XCH2C6H4CH2Y, where X = NH2 and N(CH3)2, and Y = OH and OCH3.Essentially only three peaks of ions, +, + and +, have appeared for each compound.Since the two functional groups XCH2- and YCH2- do not interact with each other after protonation or after fragmentation, they are assumed to be protonated and to undergo fragmentation independently.The relative protonation susceptibility and fraction of fragmentating + can be estimated for each functional group in these compounds.A semi-quantitative interpretation of the observed spectra is presented.

The present invention is a method for acyloxylating an alkyl group substituted aromatic compound at the side chain, by letting the alkyl group substituted aromatic compound and a carboxylic acid and/or a carboxylic anhydride react with each other in the presence of an oxygen containing gas. In this case, if (1) a solid catalyst in which at least one selected from cobalt, cerium and manganese is supported on a solid material or (2) a catalyst containing at least one selected from cobalt oxides, cerium oxides and manganese oxides is used, an alkali group substituted aromatic compound and a carboxylic acid and/or a carboxylic anhydride can be caused to react with each other efficiently in the presence of an oxygen containing gas, and in addition the catalyst can be easily separated from the reaction solution. Furthermore, (3) a compound diacyloxylated at the side chains can be highly selectively produced if a cerium compound is used as a catalyst in the absence of a cobalt compound and a manganese compound. Moreover, the present invention relates to a method for producing a cinnamic acid by letting a benzylidene diacetate react in the presence of a basic catalyst. The alkyl group substituted aromatic compounds acyloxylated and diacyloxylated at the side chain obtained in the present invention are useful for perfumes, and the benzyl alcohols and benzaldehydes obtained by hydrolyzing them are useful for intermediate products of agricultural chemicals, drugs and perfumes and also for resin additives. The cinnamic acids produced according to the present invention are useful for intermediate products of agricultural chemicals, drugs and perfumes.
