Under similar reaction conditions, preferably using
oxygen at ambient temp. rank the following in order of
ease of oxidation to corresponding acid.

1. vanillin

2. Furfural

3. syringaldehyde

4. acetaldehyde

Provide rationale for your answer. Question is
related to the mechanism of distilled spirits

Thanks.
