A new reagent, manganese dioxide supported on kieselguhr, for effective oxidation of benzoins into corresponding benzils under heterogeneous and reflux conditions is described. The present oxidations are completed within 10 h with yields of 86–95%. The main advantages of the present procedure are that the preparation of supported reagent is more convenient and the reaction times are relatively short.
