phenylacetaldehye to phenylacetic acid
Have been attempting to perform this reaction using hydrogen peroxide without much success. Only info I've found so far was for ring substituted
phenylacetaldehydes using 1.7 molar excess of H2O2 in an acetic acid/water solvent which was unsuccessful. Does anyone have any info/experience
relating specifically to this reaction as it would be very helpful to me.

How about oxidation with MnO4 or Cr2O7?

Would not permanganate cleave the C-C bond resulting in benzoic acid?
Many oxidation reactions are available in a brochure from Acros...
It is absolutely an awesome summary.

Dichromate is likely more suitable here than permanganate for your desired reaction.

For oxidations of phenylacetaldehyde to phenylacetic acid see Tetrahedron 54 (1998) 401-410 and Synthesis (1993) 295-297.

Hi Everyone! I am looking for an article: J. Chem. Soc., Trans. (1921) 119, 1775
"phenylacetaldehyde can be made by decarboxylating the bromohydrin gotten in 90%+ yield by treating cinnamic acid with bromine water"
Could anyone help me with this? Thanks!

This thread is about the oxidation of phenylacetaldehyde, not it's production. Questions about its production belong in a seperate thread.
If you are looking for a reference and can't find it on google scholar, try requesting access from a moderator to the references section of the forum
(given that this is your first post, I'm not sure they will grant it).

Pretty sure that if you oxidize phenylalanine (to phenylacetaldehyde) via aq -OCL2 route, the acid gets formed just through ambient oxidation of the
aldehyde (that is, if it doesn't 1st polymerize). Wouldn't it be nice to magically add an alpha methyl to a common amino acid, and then proceed with
the hypochlorite degradation/oxidation?
