Mechanism for oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde, benzyl alcohol...?
« on: September 29, 2007, 04:32:12 PM »
Propose a radical mechanism (showing fishhooks) for the oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde, benzyl alcohol and peroxybenzoyl nitric anhydride.

I'm kind of confused on how to begin this question. Is this just one big mechanism or is each compound produced in a separate reaction?

Can someone help me.. thanks!

It sounds like they want 3 separate reactions to me.
