Thermal decomposition of allylbenzene ozonide (58) at 37°C in the liquid phase gave toluene, bibenzyl, phenylacetaldehyde, formic acid, (benzyloxymethyl)formate, and benzyl formate as products. In chlorinated solvents, benzyl chloride is also formed and in the presence of a radical quench such as 1-butanethiol, the product distribution changes. Electron spin resonance (ESR) signals are observed in the presence of spin traps, adding to the evidence that suggests radicals are involved in the decomposition mechanism (Scheme 9) <89JA5839>. 

Purification. Small amounts of reaction by-products are produced during the liquid-phase oxidation of toluene. These by-products include acetic and formic acids, benzene, benzaldehyde, benzyl alcohol, aliphatic benzyl esters such as benzyl formate and benzyl acetate, biphenyl, 2-, 3-, and 4-methylbiphenyls, and phthalic acid. Of these only benzaldehyde and benzene [71 -43-2] are currendy separated commercially.

Carbonyl)chlorohydridotris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II) was used as a catalyst in the transfer hydrogenation of benzaldehyde with formic acid as a hydrogen source. Under these conditions, the reduction ofbenzaldehyde to benzyl alcohol is accompanied by esterification of the alcohol with the excess of formic acid to provide benzyl formate (Scheme 4.16). In this microwave-assisted reaction, the catalyst displayed improved turnover rates compared to the thermal reaction (280 vs. 6700 turnovers/h), thus leading to shorter reaction times36.
