A study was made of oxidation of trimethylbenzenes to dimethylbenzoic acids in the presence of Mn and Co salts. At a temperature of 140-145/sup 0/ and with a proportion of the catalyst of (1.9-2.5) x 10/sup -4/ mole per mole raw material the conversion of the latter reaches 60-63% with a selectivity of the process of 48-75%. In selectivity of formation of dimethylbenzoic acids trimethylbenzenes are arranged in the order: 1,2,4>1,3,5>1,2,3-trimethylbenzene.
