Here is a review of all literature and known methods for the synthesis of
aldehydes, ketones and quinones until the year 1953 when the book was written. You will find it is a nice source of ideas and old references.
Chapters 9, 10 and 11 from:
Romeo B. Wagner & Harry D. Zook.
Synthetic organic chemistry. (
1953)
New York: John Wiley & Sons, inc.
