Abstract:
A temperature-dependent equilibrium is observed for the cyclotrimerization of aliphatic aldehydes in the presence of Montmorillonite K10 clay, while aerobic oxidation of aliphatic aldehydes to the corresponding carboxylic acids is favored at room temperature in the presence of Montmorillonite KSF clay.
