Abstract

During the oxygen or air oxidation of benzaldehyde catalyzed by cobalt and bromide several measureable parameters oscillate including: redox potential, absorbance at 620 nm, oxygen concentration, rate of benzaldehyde disappearance and free radical concentration. At 55–100°C in a 90/10 acetic acid/water mixture the oscillations will last for many hours[1]. A typical cycle is shown in Figure 1.
