	abstract = {<p>Magnesium oxide supported nano-gold catalyst (prepared by the homogeneous deposition precipitation technique) showed high activity/selectivity and excellent reusability in the oxidation of different primary alcohols and aldehydes to corresponding aldehydes and carboxylic acids, respectively, by molecular oxygen (under atmospheric pressure) in the absence of any solvent. Influence of the catalyst calcination temperature (400-900 degrees C), reaction temperature (50-120 degrees C) and use of different solvents (viz. toluene. p-xylene, DMF or DMSO) on the oxidation reaction has also been studied.

	abstract = {<p>Solvent-free O-acetylation of alcohols (including secondary and tertiary alcohols) and phenols and S- acetylation of thiols by acetyl chloride with high product yields at room temperature in a very short reaction period can be easily accomplished using a small amount of solid catalyst obtained from the decomposition (at 600 A degrees C) of Ni-Fe-hydrotalcite. Both the reactions are carried out at room temperature under solvent-free conditions. The catalyst can be easily separated from the reaction mixture, simply by filtration and reused several times without a significant loss of its activity.</p>},
