The oxidative degradation of fragrant aldehydes by molecular oxygen has been investigated. The oxygen consumption was monitored and the bond dissociation energy (BDE) of the aldehyde C(O)-H bond were calculated by DFT method. The oxidation products were identified by GC/MS. The different pathways accounting for the oxidative degradation are discussed. The main product is the acid, beside the formate ester. Both oxidation products result from the Baeyer-Villiger reaction involving a peracid R(CO)OOH whereas minor products arise from the hydroperoxide ROOH intermediate derived either from the acyl peroxy radical, R(CO)OO or from the decarboxylation of the peracid RC(O)OOH.

Production of α,α-dichloroaldehydes by direct chlorination of 1-alkanols with chlorine gas, catalyzed by DMF and DMF*HCl, was extended to long chain compounds (CnH2n+1OH; n = 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18).Two problems specific to the longer chains were solved to obtain isolated yields in the range 70-85 percent; a) parasitic radical chlorination was largely controlled by shielding from light; b) alkyl alkanoate side product (8 percent for n = 8 but 25 percent for n = 16 or 18) was decreased to 0-2 percent in the presence of MgCl2*H2O.Homogeneity of the reaction medium was improved with chloroform as a cosolvent.Oxidation of the aldehydes to dichlorocarboxylic acids proceeded smoothly with aqueous KMnO4 up to the tetradecanal.For the longer chains 30 percent hydrogen peroxide-NaHCO3 in acetone (overnight at 48-52 deg C) was the preferred oxidant.
