    On the other hand, if allowed to remain in contact with a second molecule of benzaldehyde, it oxidizes the second molecule of the aldehyde with the production of two molecules of benzoic acid, C0II5CO.O.OII + C0H5CHO = 2C6HBCOOIi; 01 Anally, if an oxidizable substance, such as indigo, be present, it oxidizes the indigo with the production of benzoic acid and isatin thus— C18H10N2O2 + C8II5CO.O.OII r 2C8H5N02 + 2C6H5COOH. Hence when a solution of indigo is shaken with benzaldehyde both are oxidized, whereas the indigo alone is unchanged by molecular oxygen.
