CATALYST FOR OXIDIZING P-NITROTOLUENE AND PRODUCTION OF P-NITROBENZOATE

摘要

PURPOSE:To produce p-nitrobenzoate having a good hue in high yield from p-nitrotoluene. CONSTITUTION:A catalyst for oxidizing p-nitrotoluene is constituted of a Co compd., an Mn and/or Ce compd., a Cr compd. and a Br compd. and p- nitrotoluene is oxidized using molecular oxygen-containing gas in an acetic soln. in the presence of the catalyst to produce p-nitrobenzoate.
