C6H3(CH3)3+3NaClO2-->3NaCl+C6H3(CHO)3+3H2O
3Cl2+C6H3(CHO)3-->3HCl+C6Cl3(CHO)3
Is this possible, and what good would it do?
??????????

Oh comon, what's this about?
You are trying to oxidise mesitylene (with NaClO2????), and to get the triply oxidised aldehyde species would be very tricky (polymerisation,
over/under oxidation).
Then chlorination... jeez.
How about we all start doing some random chemical juggling and then start asking what good what it would be? Comon!
