Abstract
Selective oxidation of benzoins into corresponding benzils using ferric (III) nitrate nonahydrate supported on graphite reagent under heterogeneous conditions and reflux is described. The present oxidations are completed within 3 hours with the yield between 82-95%. It has the main advantage of being readily available, inexpensive, and relatively non-toxic oxidation reagent.
