Abstract

Oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde by Mn3+ and OH free radicals, generated in the anodic and cathodic reactions respectively, was carried out simultaneously in the cathodic and anodic compartments of a cell. The selectivity of benzaldehyde was very high in both the anodic and cathodic reactions. The maximum total current efficiency for benzaldehyde production in the paired electrooxidation was 171%.
