Abstract
Using the catalytic transformation of isobutyl benzoate at 663 K in the presence of 12 % MnO2/γ-Al2O3 in a He atmosphere as an example, it has been shown that the inverse Tishchenko reaction can take place at a temperature above 600 K. Isobutyl benzoate gives isobutanal and benzaldehyde as well as products of their transformation,i.e., benzyl isobutyrate, isobutanol, benzyl alcohol, and toluene.
