Infrared and laser Raman spectra indicate that the adsorption of benzaldehyde on alumina results in the formation of two adsorbed species, having a benzoate and a benzylalcoholate structure, respectively. By comparison with the benzoate the alcoholate is formed in only small quantities. The production of the benzoate is explained by the oxidative properties of the alumina surface. A possible explanation of the alcoholate formation is the occurrence of a Cannizzaro reaction, catalyzed by basic sites. © 1973.
