13. We increased the concentration of the reaction mixture while the maintaining the concentration of benzoic acid. The following reaction conditions were used: CHD (1 equiv, 0.32M), benzoic acid (4 equiv, 1.27 M), catalyst (1.25-5 mol%), p-benzoquinone (2.2 equiv, 0.69M), acetone (30 mL per gram of CHD), room temperature. Cyclohexene and benzene are also produced during the oxidation.
14. 2 (Bz = benzoyl) became our preferred catalyst, as it limits the number of side products formed (no mixed-carboxylate products are produced).

19. Hydroquinone is the by-product of palladium(0) reoxidation and precipitates during the reaction as quinhydrone.
