Various aromatic, aliphatic and conjugated aldehydes were transformed to the corresponding carboxylic acids with 70% t ‐BuOOH solution (water) in the presence of catalytic amounts (10 mol%) of Mohr's salt. This method possesses functional group compatibility, does not involve cumbersome work‐up, exhibits chemoselectivity since other functional groups remain intact and proceeds under mild conditions. The resulting products are obtained in good yields within reasonable times. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
