NiO in association with aluminum oxide has been identified by temperature‐programmed reduction as the active species in the Ni–Al hydrotalcite catalyst that oxidizes α ‐ketols as well as benzylic and allylic alcohols to their corresponding carbonyl compounds in oxygen in quantitative yields under mild reaction conditions (see scheme).
