Scheme 4‐1: <strong>Oxidation</strong> of p‐xylene with molecular oxygen catalyzed by Ag/SiO2 in the presence of ceria and a<br />
carboxylic acid.<br />
Table 4‐2: <strong>Oxidation</strong> of p‐xylene with silver catalysts in the presence of CeO2 and carboxylic acid. Reaction<br />
conditions: 122 mmol p‐xylene, 3 mol‐% p‐toluic acid, 100 mg biphenyl, 100 mg catalyst, oxygen atmosphere,<br />
140 °C, 3 h reaction time.<br />

a Based on the number of product molecules with respect to the total amount of silver during one<br />
experiment. b 50 mg CeO2 added. c 3 mol‐% benzoic acid used instead of p‐toluic acid. d 1 st re‐use.<br />
No difference between benzoic acid and p‐toluic acid could be found with respect to the catalytic<br />
performance (Table 4‐2, entry 1 and 2). As underlined by reaction Scheme 4‐1, the second methyl<br />
group remained untouched due to the deactivating effect of the electron withdrawing substituent.<br />
Some p‐xylene hydroperoxide as an intermediate reaction product was also observed (less than 0.5<br />
%) but no pertoluic acid. Note that the reaction also proceeded in the absence of light in contrast to<br />
