Title:
METHOD FOR PRODUCING ALKOXYBENZOIC ACIDS
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2003277313
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a method for producing alkoxybenzoic acids, capable of producing the alkoxybenzoic acids from alkoxybenzaldehydes in a good yield.
This method for producing the alkoxybenzoic acids comprises treating the alkoxybenzaldehyde expressed by general formula (1) (R1 is a 1-6C saturated or unsaturated alkyl; and n is an integer of 1 to 5) with an oxidizing agent in the presence of at least one kind of compound selected from of a nonprotonic polar solvent, a surfactant, and a 1-6C aliphatic monocarboxylic acid, to produce the alkoxybenzoic acid expressed by general formula (2).
