Process for the oxidation of aromatic aldehydes in which an aldehyde obeying general formula (1) in which n represents an integer from 1 to 3, and the or each X represents hydrogen or an electron-withdrawing substituent or a mildly electron-donating substituent that is ortho, meta or para to the aldehyde substituent or a strongly electron-donating substituent that is meta to the aldehyde substituent, provided that at least one ortho position is occupied by hydrogen, is brought into contact with an alkali metal perborate and acetic acid at a mild temperature and permitted to react until at least a proportion of the aldehyde has been oxidised to the corresponding aromatic carboxylic acid. |
