Question

Green reagents used for benzil benzilic acid rearrangement

Answer 1

$<u><b><i>Benzil–benzilic acid type rearrangements are not known to occur in HTW. ... The benzil–benzilic acid rearrangement is related to other reactions such as the intramolecular Cannizzaro reaction. Both reactions involve the oxidation and reduction of an organic substrate which contains a carbonyl group with no alpha hydrogen.$
