Liquid phase oxidation of p-cresol was carried out over a Co-saponite catalyst in a temperature and pressure range of 333-393 K and 20-827 kPa, respectively in n-propanol. Co-saponites with varying cobalt content (5-30%) were prepared and screened among which 13% Co-saponite gave the highest conversion of 92% of p-cresol with 92% selectivity to p-hydroxybenzaldehyde without formation of any non-oxidation products.
