17.7 Reaction of Formaldehyde with Ammonia
Aromatic aldehydes are obtained by the oxidation of side chain in the aromatic ring. For example, benzaldehyde is obtained by the oxidation of toluene with chromium trioxide in acetic anhydride. In this case the benzaldehyde formed is trapped by acetic anhydride to form benzal diacetate. As a result, further oxidation of benzaldehyde to benzoic acid is prevented. However, benzaldehyde can be regenerated by hydrolysis of benzal diaceate.
