Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
In a process for preparing an alkyl-substituted benzaldehyde of the formula ##STR4## wherein R 1 is hydrogen, alkyl or aryl by electrooxidation of an alkylbenzene derivative of the formula ##STR5## wherein R 1 is as defined above, X is hydrogen, hydroxy or R 2 COO - , and R 2 is hydrogen or alkyl, in water or an alkanoic acid, the improvement which comprises: conducting the electrooxidation using graphite anodes coated with a metal oxide or carbide selected from the group consisting of ruthenium oxide, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, chromium oxide, cobalt oxide, manganese dioxide, nickel oxide or tungsten carbide.
