Conclusions
In conclusion, we have developed an easy and efficient methodology for the synthesis anhydrides starting from commercially available aromatic aldehydes using low-cost Cu(I) catalyst and TBHP as oxidant at room temperature with satisfactory yields.16 We have also explored the plausible reaction pathway in our laboratory. We hope our methodology will find application in the synthesis of anhydrides having promising synthetic, material as well as pharmaceutical applicability.
