| abstract |
The invention relates to a method for preparing organic acid by oxidizing aromatic secondary alcohol. Air or oxygen is taken as an oxygen source, copper salt and organic ligand are taken as catalysts, inorganic base is added, and the aromatic secondary alcohol is subjected to carbon-carbon bond oxidative cracking to obtain the organic acid. The invention has high oxidation efficiency and high product yield; air or oxygen is used as an oxygen source, so that the method is economical and environment-friendly and has good application prospect. |
