An aromatic carboxylic acid, aromatic aldehyde, and aromatic alcohol are simultaneously and efficiently prepared by liquid phase oxidizing an aromatic compound represented by formula (I) with a gas containing molecular oxygen, in a presence of a catalyst comprising a transition metal compound, a tertiary amine and a bromide compound: <CHEM> wherein each R, independently, is C1-18 alkyl, C6-18 aryl, C6-18 aralkyl, halogen, haloalkyl, OR<1>, SR<1>, SOR<1>, SO2R<2>, NO2, NR<1>R<2>, CH2OR<1>, CH(OR<1>)(OR<2>), C(OR<1)<OR<2>)(OR<3>), COR<1> or COCOR<1> (wherein each of R<1>, R<2> and R<3>, independently, is selected from C1-18 alkyl, C6-18 aryl and hydrogen).
