Acetophenone, butyrophenone, 1-indanone, and 1-tetralone are obtained by the oxidation of ethylbenzene, butylbenzene, indan, and tetralin by anNa2S2O8-AgNO3 system in water and in aqueous acetone.

Silver(I)-catalyzed oxidative decarboxylation of acids by peroxydisulfate. Role of silver(II)

The solubilities of a number of alkylbenzenes are measured in distilled water and seawater at 25.OoC. Saturation is achieved by equilibrating water with aromatic hydrocarbon vapor at the equilibrium vapor pressure of the alkylbenzene involved. Results indicate that for monosubstituted alkylbenzenes, the size of the alkyl substituent is important in determining the solubility, whereas for polysubstituted alkylbenzenes, the positions of the substituents on the benzene ring are also important.
