Selenium(IV) Oxide Catalyzed Oxidation of Aldehydes to Carboxylic Acids with Hydrogen Peroxide

A convenient method for oxidative transformation of aromatic, hetero-aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes into carboxylic acids is presented. It is based on the oxidation of aldehydes in THF using 30% hydrogen peroxide in the presence of 5 molar % of selenium(IV) oxide. The scope and limitation of the m...
