Procedure

Two grams of sodium-supported hydrotalcite prepared in Example 7, (1) and stabilized in Example 7 (2) was put in a container holding 20 g of dehydrated benzaldehyde and 35 g of n-decane as a solvent, and reacted at room temperature for 3 hours. The product was analyzed by gas chromatography (OV-17, 2 m). The conversion of benzaldehyde was 90%, and benzyl benzoate was obtained in a yield of 89%.
