Abstract
Benzil was synthesised by oxidizing benzoin with iron sulfate as the oxidant under microwave radiation.The effects of various factors on the reaction were studied.The optimal reaction conditions are: 20mL acetic acid solution(1∶1 V/V),240W microwave radiation,and reaction time,of 10min.Under the optimal conditions,the yield is above 93.3%.
