Industrially useful class of intermediate such as benzil can be obtained by the oxidation of benzoin, which has been explored extensively. Until now, lanthanum oxide has been not explored for the oxidation of benzoin. Here we report the oxidation of benzoin by the rare earth oxide, lanthanum oxide, which converted quantitatively the oxidized product, benzil,. The product was characterized by FTIR and NMR
