Concept Introduction:
Oxidation with
The carbon atom attached to the benzene ring is known as benzylic carbon atom. The benzylic carbon that is attached with a benzylic hydrogen atom will be oxidized into carboxylic acid group on treatment with chromic acid
General scheme:
In this oxidation, halogen and nitro substituents on the benzene ring are unaffected as shown in the following example:
