The X-ray structure of the title compound, C10H12O2, has been determined. The carboxyl and its o-methyl group display typical evasive in-plane splaying away from each other. The carboxyl is coplanar with the benzene ring a

A palladium-catalyzed methylation of C-H bonds of benzoic acids with di-tert-butyl peroxide as the methylating reagent under an external oxidant and ligand-free conditions has been achieved. The reaction is found to be directed by a weakly coordinating carboxyl group, offering a facile route for the synthesis of highly functionalized ortho-methyl benzoic acids.
Remarkable effect of PEG-1000-based dicationic ionic liquid for N-Hydroxyphthalimide-catalyzed aerobic selective oxidation of alkylaromatics

PEG 1000-based functional dicationic acidic ionic liquid (PEG 1000-DAIL) was used for the first time as the reaction solvent for the N-Hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI)-cobalt acetate(Co(OAc)2) catalyzed aerobic oxidations of alkylaromatics to the corresponding acids. It enhanced the efficient catalytic ability of NHPI: 99.9 % conversion of toluene with 99.5 % selectivity for benzoic acid could be obtained at 80 °C in 10 h and ethylbenzene was selectively oxidized to benzoic acid. Several alkylaromatics were efficiently oxidized to their corresponding acids under mild conditions. For substituted toluene, the conversions of substrates and the selectivity of products was affected by the position and kind of substituted groups, respectively. Both the catalyst and PEG1000-DAIL could be reused at least eight times without significantly decreasing the catalytic activity.
