Aromatic hydrocarbons are partially oxidized in the gas phase over a catalyst at elevated temperature to form carboxylic acids or carboxylic anhydrides in a process in which a gas stream laden with the starting materials is passed through a shell-and-tube reactor whose temperature is controlled by means of one or more separate thermostatting baths conveyed in countercurrent to the starting gas stream, wherein the difference between the temperature of the thermostatting bath in the region of the reactor outlet and the temperature of the product gas stream leaving the reactor is employed to control the selectivity of the gas-phase oxidation.
