Alumina and Silica Oxides as Catalysts for the Oxidation of Benzoins to Benzils under Solvent-free Conditions

Alumina or silica gel are used as catalysts for a solvent-free oxidation of benzoins to the corresponding benzils. These catalysts are easily recovered after completion of the reactions, which are carried out either by heating in a sand bath or using microwave irradiation. Comparison of the results...
